[Devon]

I shall. It's a little late here though, so I'll try that tomorrow. I hear there is a meeting this Saturday at PSOne, so I'll hopefully be there for that.

Both went well, except that Ubuntu 11.04 won't recognize the Wi Fi for my house. It won't recognize ANY wi-fi, it can't find the WiFi chip. How can I get this to work? Should I use the Netbook Remix?

Then it should be a simple matter to Google your hardware plus Ubuntu to find a resolution. I've done this a number of times in the past to resolve Linux driver issues.
