Well, This is a bit of a rant I'm afraid... need to vent.
<rant class="frustrated">What gives with wireless? Why is it such an
issue for Ubuntu? 'Almost' every time I perform an apt-get upgrade or
in this case, a distribution upgrade, my wireless breaks! I'm getting
really fed up of it.
Now I don't want to be seen as whinging about something but not
helping to fix it, but it has been fixed in the past, as I have been
using wifi before on many previous versions on this hardware. But for
some reason, my particular wireless h/w, seems to get forgotten about
or lost or whatever whenever there is a major upgrade and I have to
wait, sometimes several weeks, for one of the upgrades to fix it. Or
try various different methods found by googling, which don't all work,
which I fear is cluttering up my system.
I don't understand how if it is fixed, why that bit of code or
whatever it is doesn't just stay put.

Right now, after an upgrade to 11,04, I have no wireless devices
detected. Its not that I can't connect, I don't even have any wlan
detected.
Its a Realtek.
do lsusb in a terminal and let us know the full line that relates to
your wireless device.
Is this built in to some kind of laptop? Which model? If it is a
certified model or the same wireless device is in a certified model
then put that in the bug report.
So far this is a rant with out much actionable information, lets get
it to a reportable and fixable bug report.
Alan.
I will perform the actions on my computer tonight. Its a Samsung N130
Netbook.
There is someone with a similar problem on the forums:
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1744668
But their situation is better than mine, they at least have wireless
hardware showing up.
I will run that diagnostic script to get the same results.
Thanks.
