Bug Description
Hi,
I have the Hp dv2020ca with Amd Turion 64 and Ubuntu 7.04 and also Win xp.
The dual-boot works fine, and besides a "bios-bug" all works fine! I only have one huge problem, my wireless only works sometimes. At this moment I'm lucky that it works now that i can ask this question.
Description of the problem:
the blue light does not turn on (stays orange) even when the wireless card is tuned ON. I already had problems with my wireless regarding the dual-boot from windows, but now it doesn't work at all.
When the blue light does not turn on at startup and when i go in Ubuntu it seems it doesn't recognize the card at all, there is just no card present. I try to restart, it try to take out the battery and take off the power, tried to restart on the battery etc. Normally i cant get it working, only sometimes i'm lucky after restarting that it works.
I understand if it is not possible to solve the complete problem but I need a way to get it working when it doesn't. What i maybe think is that a "hard-reboot" maybe help Ubuntu initialize all the hardware again, but i don't know how to do that.

Please, I am really desperate for ANY help I can get with this problem.
