Just a question, is there any way I can find out if the wireless adaptor is broken, or is the software has become corrupted in any way? Its not even showing that there is a wireless on the netbook. I can connect via the ethernet though, which works ok. Thanks John. -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu

I'm afraid I'm not familiar with eeepc. Nor what the Kernel differences are. Which is the default option (the one its on when the menu first comes up). If is the 3rd option, then try booting the first (probably the latest) kernel. Also, when you say "it shows you are running". Where are you getti
