PC laptop is used booted in Win Vista with wlan funtional. I've installed Ubuntu 8.10 on a usb flashdrive. The wlan is switched on but the blue wlan led never lights when booted with Ububtu. I'm stumped. Is there a resolution here for use of this box with Ubuntu (other than plugging into eth0?
Here is the requested output.
