Comment 2 for bug 298661

so far my internet is working fine with 8.10. Most guides on Intrepid installation say to opt for wired network connection first. the ubuntu install should detect it as eth0, and wlan0 under your choices. theoretically you need to set up your wireless connection there, but I haven't tried, manually setting up a wifi in terminal doesn't seem fun, :). For the best results so far I would recomend using the automatic network config during the installation of ubuntu 8.10 under the ethernet connection. I haven't got my wireless to work yet, but untill then I'm using a wirelessly bridged connection with a game adapter.
