I’m a newbie and never used linux 8.10 ubuntu on an acer 5720z, i have a live cd of ubuntu but have read in a few places that my wireless will not work with ubuntu, you have to install backport modules??? not sure what that means but i need help real bad.
i have tried to boot from live cd and once ubuntu is running it doesn’t show a wireless connection. Tho when im in vista the wireless is visible. I read somewhere that you have to install or enable backport module or something of the sort. I have not a clue of what they are talking about or even how to do that??? can someone please help me???
