It is true, some distribution like Ubuntu and others are not very hardware-ish compatible -- this is mainly of the new hardware which is not yet supported in the Distribution. It is not easy at times to create ports for the drivers. Did you try your manufacturer for help on Linux drivers -- they could give you a hint to go in the right direction. Other than that, you are pretty much stuck with it for now.

You are not the only one with the problem, remeber that. There are others who do have hardware problems -- including hardware which is wireless.

If there is no solution, try get some other hardware to get connectivity to your internet. I have heard from all my friends and many others that the distribution - Knoppix is very much compatible with new hardware. You could give it a try, but I am not promising anything.

i tried going through ethernet.

but, i guess that raises another question.

i have the main dsl home portal in another room.

i guess i need a long ethernet cable. = )

thanks guys. :nihungsmile: :TH:

you could get the ndiswrapper which lets you use your windows drivers on linux, its usually the only way to get broadcam wifi cards to work.
