 Yes the device shows up, but I mean I don't know how to make it turn 
 on... in those notes, you see there are no attached wireless interfaces. 
 When I do ifconfig -a there is no wlan entry.

 Hopefully this is an easy solution to someone, but I am not sure what I 
 am looking for. All I know is it was working before.

 Anyway, I am going to reformat the whole netbook. Its still got a 
 restore partition that came with it which is wasting 10Gb or so...

 Going to do a fresh Ubuntu 11,04 part. + /home part. + XP part.

 See how it works out of the box.
