its a broadcom chip. It says so in lspci. Search on the device id's - vendor and product, or just on broadcom 4318.

The point is that writing to an ntfs partition under windows doesn't work that well and you risk corruption of the XP partition by mounting it rw. >It took me 10 minutes to fix after I > realised that I had to umount it before u5 would let me remount it with > read access for all users (per ubuntu wiki - yes, a very useful site). > > I have forgoten where the feature is to do the update to u6.06, Try the little icon at the top right that is flashing to tell you that upgrades are available. >thou > after my last experience I'm a little hesitant and wondering if I should > wait till it becomes a little more stable. > Why not load 6.06 over the top tomorrow.
