[ubuntu-uk] update icon
Could someone please explain why there are two different icons to indicate that there are updates available one of which is a broad arrow pointing downwards and the other resembles a gear wheel.

[ubuntu-uk] Wireless LAN problem
Installed WUBI 8.04 on a Toshiba Satellite L40 that uses the Realtek 8187 WLan chip. I went to this site http://www.datanorth.net/~cuervo/rtl8187b/ for the driver, followed the instructions there but ran into a problem. On issuing the ./makedrv command, this happened: rm -fr *.mod.c *.mod *.o .*.cmd *.mod.* *.ko *.o *~ make -C /lib/modules/2.6.24-16-generic/build M=/home/gordon/rtl8187b-modified/ieee80211 CC=gcc modules make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.24-16-generic' scripts/Makefile.build:46: *** CFLAGS was changed in /home/gordon/rtl8187b-modified/ieee80211/Makefile.

Caroline The answer is simple there are 2 levels of updates.
