To answer another, yes, I tried direct connecting with ethernet cable and it still quits after ten seconds. Frustrating. I went to the madwifi site and I have no idea how to build or what even to click there. I still do not know what the problem is. I can not stay online long enough to download anything helpful. If I do find something that would help, I guess I could put it on a thumb drive and try that, but I have no idea what the problem is. Never had the problem with the previous Ubuntu versions. Just the latest upgrade. How do I go back without losing all my stuff? I would still like to figure out what the problem is. I am still thinking it is something simple. I just do not know where to look. Any other suggestions from anyone? Thank you for all the responses so far. Looks like I still need help to figure it out. Missing my puter :(
