    I dunno. I haven't checked up on here in ages, but I have just finally decided to try and be active here again.
    2 CDs requested on 2007-10-18. 2 CDs were approved and sent to the shipping company 4 hours ago. Please note requests usually take from 4 to 6 weeks to deliver, depending on the country of shipping.
    Finally got processed.
    and Louisville, eh? Nice.

    That's a good question!! We have been going steady, but like the UK Football Team, the plays are there, but execution is killing us! We seem to have all the good intentions and good plans, but can't get members (including myself) to commit. In my case, I'm not sure if it is because of a new job, family priorities, etc, but it seems difficult to make plans more than a few days in advance and to get away for several hours.

    But I am going to try and change that too. I need to step back in and be a bit more proactive and work to make some time. So look for us at the team meeting on Thursday and don't forget about the Release Party set for the 3rd of Nov.

    It just seems to me that the Kentucky LoCo group has run out of steam. Either that, or they are spending their time (like me) trying to work out all the bugs in Hardy.

    For me, getting wireless to work on my laptop was the easiest experience to date. I didn't even need ndiswrapper with Hardy. Where I am having trouble is printing to my network printer. Setup was a snap with Dapper, Edgy, Feisty, and Gutsy. But not so with Hardy. I had it working once by putting AppArmor into complain mode for cupsd. But then some update killed that little trick and I'm again unable to print from the laptop. So I wait patiently until the real gurus find a cure.

    I sure wish configuring Linux distros wasn't always such a challenge. Still, for me it beats the alternative.

    I did all the recommended scripts in the terminal, then shut down and restart and still when I click the network icon in the top right corner and then configure wireless. I still do not see other wireless networks I don't even see my own. Its still dead as a doornail.

    Laptop is HP Compaq FT 762NR with Vista and Hardy. My goal is to get the wireless working on Hardy. Once that is accomplished I can wipe Vista and do a full install of Hardy. I can get internet on the LAN ethernet, but not on wireless. What am I missing here?

    Is there some else I need to be clicking on, like another window to enable wireless other than the one in the network icon in the top right corner?

    Wireless is a "Atheros AR5007 802.11b/g WiFi Adapter" built in.

    Here is a thread that might be of some assistance on getting your wireless working:

    I don't know if you are using 32-bit Ubuntu or 64-bit. It's oftentimes best to try to find a solution that is as close to your situation as possible. As I said before, I used to have to use ndiswrapper, but now there is a new driver for my old Broadcom wireless chipset.
