So, I installed Ubuntu earlier today.

Then I thought it was pretty nice, so I deleted the partition it was on, so I could reinstall it on a much larger one.

Then I got this awesome error, called "GRUB Error 22", that wouldn't let me boot my computer to Ubuntu or Vista, it would just bring me to this bodacious screen about how I had Grub error #22.

So then I searched for solutions on Google, and it turned out that to fix it, I had to type "fixmbr" into the recovery console, from the XP Reinstallation disk.

XP Reinstallation Disk.

Then I found out that Vista replaced the Recovery Console with a Command Prompt, and fixmbr did nothing, as did fdisk /mbr and fixboot.

That was pretty far out, but then I found out via 'Brad G' that to run that application on Vista, I needed to type 'bootrec/fixmbr' into the command prompt.

All together, it was pretty rad.



That brings me to my real question:

To save myself the time of clicking the Help File, how about one of you people tell me how to make Ubuntu find my wireless card and do something, y'know, useful?

I've played with Mandriva, and it had all these fancy tools for doing all that.

I don't know anything about Ubuntu, but it probably has some sort of configuration utility. If you don't have drivers your the card, you're going to need those too.

the trick is to never use linux because that makes you a linux fag
