Why does my wireless only work after restarting from Windows? (10.04)

[danilosoares]

Greetings,

I have recently installed Ubuntu 10.04 in one of my notebook's HD partitions. It all runs smoothly, except for wireless. For some reason, Ubuntu only finds my wireless connections after I boot into Windows and then restart. If I boot straight into Ubuntu, I always get the 'device not ready' or 'disconnected' message under 'Wireless networks'.

Does anyone know what might be the cause of the problem and what can I do to solve it?

Below are some information about my computer, as requested in the 'How to post a wireless issue' thread.

These are the results AFTER restarting from Windows.

Machine brand: Mirax - XT8000 NTL 243200

[danilosoares]

I have tried to mess with the adapter's power saving settings in Windows, but the problem still persists. This is really kind of frustrating. Could anyone help me out?

[danilosoares]

What am I doing wrong? What should I do to get a response?
