Hi folks
I just installed Ubuntu 8.04 after previously having 7.10 (did a clean install rather than an upgrade)
Under 7.10, my wireless adapter worked perfectly. Now it seems somehow deactivated.
Here's the result of a ' lshw -C network'
Code:
WARNING: you should run this program as super-user.

Note that the wifi doesn't have a logical name. Nor is any sort of wireless connection acknowledged in my network settings. A driver for it is listed in my Hardware Drivers bit, though.
Could this be because I had the adapter powered off when I installed the OS? What can I do?
Thanks,
Tom.
