Greetings everyone - I'm hoping that someone can help me with this one because it's driving me crazy. I recently bought an Acer Veriton 'nettop'. This box comes loaded with linpus linux. I have now dual booted it with 12.04. Unfortunately under Ubuntu the wireless isn't working at all.
I did a search to see if anyone else has come across this issue but didn't see it listed. Here's my output:
