Hi, this is a real PITA, see bug 301958 and http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=95896

this card (771/671) is not detected and there is no bloody driver for it on the kernel.

I was a provider of 32 and 64-bit karmic and Jaunty drivers on my site because most of these good people can't compile and I just did the Lucid jump to help them, they were complaining. This is a serious Ubuntu flaw cause there are a bunch (thousands) of these computers on the market and the f. manufacturer provides no support. I have to add that i hate software (I am an hardware/firmware specialist) and I only touch it when I have to.

And debian bug has the same symptoms, the header lack is the same, since ubuntu closely follows debian, solution will probabably be the same.

All around on most distros we get the same complaints...

Cheers
