Hi Jason, Forgive me my ignorance, but generally Intel drivers for most cards are already built-in to Ubuntu and therefore I'd assume are in gOS too.
I'm assuming that you weren't able to connect to a router or find your wireless card. Do you mind telling me what wireless chip you have and what your experience was? I have a HP Pavilion dv1421ap (from memory :)) with an intel card which 'just works' and am happy to try to help out if you'd like. Regards, Patrick JasonB wrote: > Hello forum.
