Wireless for Sony VGN-NR220E on Ubuntu
The Sony VGN-NR220E makes a great Ubuntu machine, and thanks to a deal I found here:http://dealnews.com/categories/Computer/PC-Computers/PC-Laptop/49.htmlIt cost around $600.Installing the latest Ubuntu (Hardy) on it, made almost everything work, including very nice desktop 3D effects. (to really get the cool stuff do: apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager)But I couldn't get the wireless to work, even with madwifi sources from svn. But today, rejoice! I have found a patched madwifi package that made it all work. Good directions here: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/atheros-ar5007-wireless-with-madwifi-on-ubuntu-804-hardy-heron.html
