Mike, I'll work on this this evening. I can use the ethernet connection, I hope!, to get the rfkill; since wireless connection isn't working I cannot use either the package manager or the command line to access it from outside here. > If when you run the "frkill list" and no "wireless lan" interface is > listed than you've got an incompatible / non-functional driver problem. Since the Intel Web site says that this radio chip has been in the kernel since 2.6.24 I would suspect it's a ubuntu glitch. Obviously, the older Toshiba has a different radio since there was no problem with xubuntu-11.10 on it. I have a ton of client work to get out today, and Frontier Comm. changed my IP address twice last evening (7 and 8 pm) and the cron script changes only one domain at namecheap.com. This is the 8th IP address since last Wednesday evening at 9:07pm when they took away my static IP address. Makes no sense to change it this frequently, but it's out of my control even though it really ticks me off. So, I won't get back to getting the Sony working wirelessly until after work.
