Unless you have a beta or release candidate on the Live CD then they should be the same, unless you or the system added something to the flash drive. You can run either the normal desktop or the remix desktop from the flash drive as follows (no need for the slow Live CD): When you are at the login screen, you can select the desktop layout by selecting your login name and using the session drop-down menu to select from: Gnome - normal ubuntu desktop Remix - ubuntu remix desktop Remix 2d - lighter 2d remix desktop The names above may be slightly different as I listed them from memory. If you select Gnome and you still have wireless issues, then you should raise a bug on launchpad as something very strange is going on.
