I just Dual-booted my Mini 10V with UNR and XP. So far, I love UNR, except I'm having an issue with the wireless adapter. It's not set up at all. Only eth0 appears to be up and functional, but I don't know anything about wireless adapters in Linux. At all. Any help?

I have one other question-

I have set up the dual boot like this:

sda1: XP (NTFS)
sda5: UNR (EXT3)
sda6: Common partition (No Formatting yet)

Will the above work for common audio, video and text documents? Or should I start over?

Thanks.

I belive you can run the below codes into the terminal to fix the wireless, as for the partition I think a simple FAT32 partition would do fine both OS's should be able to read and write to it with no issues. try those out and post back

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get --reinstall install bcmwl-kernel-source

I ran both commands, but still no-go. The wlan works fine in Windows, so I know it's not the hardware. Ubuntu just doesn't see the hardware. I found what looks to be the error here in /var/log/syslog:

Jan 30 23:24:15 Del-Mini-Ubuntu kernel: [ 15.885579] b43-phy0: Broadcom 4312 WLAN found (core revision 15)

Since I plugged it into the network on eth0, the upgrade manager has been downloading and installing. Maybe the fix is in there...

Thanks for the formatting tip, I'll format the shared space as FAT32.

and the fix was indeed in there. WLAN is up.

Thanks!

I think you may have found the solution.
I made a USB boot key with Linux Mint, which I really like BTW, and my Mini 9 didn't recognize or make the Wifi connection, but when I plugged in the WLAN, the Wifi was recognized. I didn't have any problems from then on.

[canada eh]

no problem, I should have mentioned to run ubuntu updates from a wired connection. that was just some codes that I copied a while ago for the same issue.

Thanks again CEh, you helped nonetheless.
