I've got a Dell D620 with this card, and I'm unclear as to what the "Ubuntu-endorsed" way is to get the card to work with Edgy (the instructions above are for Dapper). Are the same? I've been through what feels like hundreds of "How-Tos" at this point, and some have the prerequisite of "start with a fresh installation, since other competing how tos may have hosed your configuration." I'm going to clone my partitions, but reloading them before each "how to" is a nightmare, so I'm looking for the how to with Ubuntu's stamp of approval.
