    Well wait before you complain about Linux! Your computer worked with 
Ubuntu Gutsy but I assume it does not work with Hardy.

    The question to ask is: Does the current kernel on Hardy support 
your wireless hardware? It seems that it does so you must have another 
problem. And this problem is one of your own computer. If you still have 
Gutsy on the computer does it still work?
