[John Vivirito (gnomefreak)]

Please do not change info on the bug without commenting on what and why. can you please disable the wireless setting in your BIOS and it should work than.

[John Vivirito (gnomefreak)]

Once you disable it in BIOs you should beable to enable/disable from network-manager icon

[Daniel Turner (daniturn3)]

it didnt work i disabled it and loaded ubuntu and enable wireless was still not available and than enabled it again and it still wasn't available

[Zatta (rw-alnahar)]

Please, verify that wlan is enabled in the bios. Ubuntu Lucid Lynx does not start wlan if it is not set in the bios (while other distros do start wlan regardless of bios setting, and may actually disable wlan in bios when they shut down - see bug 544991).
