I guess I could have been more clear. The computer Toshiba Satellite laptop model L15 S104 40GB, Hdd, 512 RAM. I installed Ubuntu 9.10 as the 10 dot versions will not install on this older computer. The install went as it should. had to use the Ndiswrapper and windows driver to have the wireless WiFi to work. It worked just fine. I did a Synaptic update of a couple of programs and when completed I had a ran away mouse. I have googled the mouse problem and there is no published solution. (Across Windows and linux systems). I can live with an annoying mouse problem. The next day wireless no longer worked. I believe doing the update damage was done to the computers mouse function and damaged the wireless lan controller I am not a hardware kind of guy. I have seen people use what appear to be adapters plugged into their USB ports and connecting wirelessy to the internet . I was looking for a suggestion for a USB wireless adaptor, hopefully not too expensive. tia

Wireless is such a generic term, perhaps more specific would help us know what to recommend. If your mouse is bluetooth, for instance, then a bluetooth adapter recommendation is what you're looking for. One little gem that's inexpensive and seems to be easily compatible with linux is this... http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16833340012&cm_re=micro_bluetooth_adapter-_-33-340-012-_-Product My recommendation is based on this little information here... http://rcbullock.blogspot.com/2008/04/ubuntu-804-mini-review.html I've not really tried it myself, but I don't use bluetooth or ubuntu, so dont see myself trying anytime soon.
