Yes, I have both. In Ubuntu, wireless does not start and is not connected to the internet. My laptop has an orange LED showing the wireless device is active and working. At start up, this LED is off. Therefore, the wireless device is either not being recognized, or it's not be activated. As mentioned before, a simple reboot fixes this and turns on the wireless. I know if the wireless gets turned on because the LED will light up while in the boot sequence. > Some wireless devices (vendors) are set to be deactivated by windows, > when windows shuts down.

I'm not sure if Winows is doing this since for the past few days I've only been using Ubuntu (both shutting down and starting). I went into the device configuration in Windows. Under power management I turned off its ability to turn off the wireless device to save power. That's the only thing I could find for deactivating the device. I'll let you know if that changed anything. > I don't know what exactly is your problem. Tell more please. No problem, I appreciate your help and consideration.
