Note to other Ubuntu 8.04 wireless users. I upgraded to 8.04 from 7.10 a few weeks ago while 8.04 was still in beta on an HP 4700 series. I am having a similar problem on wireless. Previously, on bootup in 7.10, my embedded Intel Pro wireless card was ignored and a D-Link DWL-650 Wireless Cardbus Adapter, 802.11b, 11Mbps was discovered, and only one wireless device was available to select in the wireless set up. Now on bootup in 8.04, the embedded wireless card is discovered simultaneously with the D-Link DWL-650 and neither work. I have to manually de-select the Intel card and select the D-Link. In 7.10, I was able to connect wirelessly in about 10 seconds, now it takes between 60 - 90 seconds. It works, but it takes a little tweaking to select the correct device for the system and initiate to wireless seek and find process. My best guess for this problem is that 8.04 has a driver for the embedded card, although it does not work. My trusty D-Link DWL-650 is still my best (and only) device for wireless connectivity.
