I downloaded Ubuntu 7.04 and have posted on forums and ahven't really
gotten
an answer. If anyone could help, if i cant get wireless working that
it's
kind of pointless for me to switch.
Here is some info:

But it doesn't get a DHCP IP from it. Can anyone give me some ideas?
Since no one has answered your post I thought I would give it a try. I
am an old fart with no *expertise*. I simply like to muck around with
linux and Kubuntu and have had some success. I have not used Mythtv in
several years so I doubt I can help there.
As far as the wireless, could you post the relevant results of:
sudo lshw
the section under network should indicate that it found a wireless
device and the product will be listed. What info is under the product
heading?
I would do a google search for ubuntu +"wireless chip found by lshw".
Chances are some else has gotten that working.
Could you also post the results of :
sudo ifconfig -a
and
sudo iwconfig
In my case I had to install a ndiswrapper-common, ndisgtk and a windows
driver for my wireless chip.
I have no doubt you will be able to get ubuntu and mythtv working.

Hope this helps.
