I am a complete Newbie to this stuff, but I have an HP Pavilion Dv7, and like everyone else who is having problems, I too, cannot connect to the internet through wireless or through a cable. I've done a bit of research and I can see that each computer has its own quirks. I downloaded Ubuntu 11.04 from the "Windows Installer" and partitioned my drive. I know that my ethernet card isn't supported. Please help me.
