Ok, I have filled out the details as described for filling a wireless ticket. Here's the problem. I just installed UNR on my netbook, and I'm pretty new to Linux in general. When I first installed it I could not get wireless to work, and it took me a few hours to get it to the working stage, but even now it is very problematic.I have installed the necessary drivers, (not the Windows drivers, the Linux drivers) and when I turn off my computer and start it up again, the wireless does not work again. So, I go into system settings and go to Hardware Drivers, and for my wireless card, it says This driver is installed but not currently active. Also at this stage I cannot turn my wireless card on through the wireless switch on the netbook. However, after I remove and than activate the drivers, I can get it working again by using the wireless switch. Although, sometimes the computer completely freezes after it connects to a wireless network ( I lose the GUI, it shows the command prompt but frozen, and my caps lock indicator is blinking). When I do get it working though, it's mostly fine and if I just go to standby or suspend, and come back, it will still be working. It stops working when I restart the computer. C'mon guys I'm new to Linux and I really want to make the switch.
