[anomaly]

Hey, all sorted now, i uninstalled ubuntu using wubi, then reinstalled again. Connected to ethernet and downloaded installed all the updates.

I then used info from this page: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+s...ux/+bug/246141

1- First I removed the following libraries (backing up first of course) based on a comment by marc.milliien in Msi Wind Forums • View topic - I have the wireless drivers BUT.....

sudo rm -rv /lib/modules/2.6.24-21-generic/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/rtl8187.ko
sudo rm -rv /lib/modules/2.6.24-21-generic/kernel/net/ieee80211
sudo rm -rv /lib/modules/2.6.24-21-generic/ubuntu/wireless/rtl8187-usb
sudo depmod

Then used these instrustions:

Download, build, and install Coffelius' variant of the rtl8187
# driver. Originally noted in an Oct 17 post to:
