Comment 5 for bug 368805

hi
This is the problem.
 i had been reading about UBUNTU and, feeling bored one day downloaded
XUBUNTU and installed it on an old desk top pc which i was going to strip
down for spares, better to give it a try on this, rather than screw up my
new pc.
I plugged in my BELKIN network adaptor and i was amazed to see that it was
detected and connected to the internet instantly. Great!
I played around with this version for a day or two and found that this was
lacking in some features, compared with Jaunty jackalope.
I installed jaunty over Xubuntu, and to my dismay found that it could not
detect my belkin adaptor. strange??
I checked out some forums and found out about wifi radar. this application
is supposed to detect wireless adaptors. unfortunately the program will not
run on this version due to a bug. I am new to Linux based operating systems,
so to start making changes to software is alien to me.
 I thing the simplest solution will be to re install XUBUNTU.
Sorry i cant be of more help,

best regards

Steve
