I recently changed my laptop from Windows XP to the Ubuntu Linux operating system. I had a problem getting the wireless to work. Using Google I read all kinds of wild goose chases. After reading many different ones I tried to sum up what I had read and installed the proper add ons and it works. But I didn't find the complete answer in one place. There was a lot of BS and several ways to get the job done to sort through. Bottom line is that I did find the answer on the internet.
