hello Dimitrios,
Thank-you for the response; installing those additional packages solved the broken audio issue on my laptop. I downloaded and installed the modules and backports-modules from the following links: http://ppa.launchpad.net/timg-tpi/ubuntu/pool/main/l/linux-backports- modules-2.6.24/ linux-backports- modules-2.6.24-18-generic_2.6.24-18.16ubuntu1_i386.deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/timg-tpi/ubuntu/pool/main/l/linux-ubuntu- modules-2.6.24/ linux-ubuntu-modules-2.6.24-18-generic_2.6.24-18.26ubuntu2_i386.deb To summarize; I installed the following packages: 1st install, linux-headers-2.6.24-18_2.6.24-18.32ubuntu6_all.deb 2nd install, linux-image-2.6.24-18-generic_2.6.24-18.32ubuntu6_i386.deb 3nd install, linux-backports-modules-2.6.24-18-generic_2.6.24-18.16ubuntu1_i386.deb 4th install, linux-ubuntu-modules-2.6.24-18-generic_2.6.24-18.26ubuntu2_i386.deb The first and second package solved the on-board network interface issue, and the third and fourth packages took care of the broken audio issue. I don't have a wireless router to test the WLan interface, but from what I've read from other forum topics, the wireless works okay out of the box. My wired NIC is working, the media apps are working, the Compiz/Fusion 3D Cubed effects are working. And the same applications that I also have installed on my desktop are working. My Toshiba Satellite A305 S6825, appears to be ready for prime time and show-and-tell. I now need to go make a backup image of this box before going to bed tonight. Thanks again.
