Comment 11 for bug 119828

I'm somewhat of newb when it comes to Linux. I apologize if I'm posting this in the wrong area.

I was pointed towards Ubuntu due to it's reputation in regards to support and the user community. I have yet to find a distribution that works with my wireless which is key for me (tried Mandriva, Suse, an older build of Ubuntu a few months ago), and I think the other was Red Hat, as I don't understand how to install the drivers manually at all. I've tried with 3 or 4 other distributions, but the instructions I find on the web never work. I also had no luck with ndiswrapper with any of the other builds. They always caused the OS to hard lock as soon as you tried to enable the wireless.

I downloaded the latest (I'm assuming it's the latest) Ubuntu 7.04 DVD (feisty?). Will the auto-update automatically download the module mentioned (linux-ubuntu-modules-2.6.22-generetic) or is there something else I must do to get my 4965 working with Ubuntu? If it's an auto-thing, then I'm sold, as this is my only hold-out in switching to Linux. My internal wired Ethernet cards always work, but I don't want to be chained to a wire.

Thanks
