Roll back 9.10 to 9.04?

[K6MLE]

I'm running an Acer Aspire 4520 and have upgraded to Ubuntu 9.10 from 9.04. Since a solution to the wireless problem has been evading me, I'd like to know if I can roll this back to 9.04 without wiping the HD and starting from scratch?

Hi K6MLE.

As far as I know, the only way to go back, is a fresh install.

What is your wireless problem? Make sure you aren't closing the place where you type in the password at the beginning.

maybe you can try putting a 9.04 ISO CD in... like an upgrade, but not.

Here's the output from iwconfig:

iwconfig

eth1 no wireless extensions.

Yet when I run wicd, it tells me no wireless networks found! This has me more than just a little baffled.

Depending upon the release date of 10.1, I might just limp along with a wired connection on this laptop until then, otherwise, it's the old wipe-it-out-and-start-over routine!

Thanks for the advice.
