Better yet, how did you do it exactly? Respecfully, Koca Kelle A question to Stacy Mader:

I can connect to my WPA wireless network. I am using the default rt73 module supplied with 8.04 - I was not required to download the Ralink or Seamonkey open source code to get things working.

I can't live without sound (well...). - hopefully it gets better one day, but it'll be too late for me, i've tried Archlinux and loved it. it's got its share of problems with hardware but basic stuff like sound, video and firefox (including flash videos) work beautifully, better than under any other OS I've tried. my problems with hardy:

I loved it. Compared to Hardy, Breezy is like DOS (but better of course). Ubuntu is developing so fast it will be, if it isn't already, better than anything else out there including win and osx (okay, they aren't that hard to beat but you get the idea).

Sadly the bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/185470 seems to be being negelected by any developers. Don't suppose you wanna give it a go as it's a bit of a show stopper for an LTS release.

After a long time downloading twice (I have two 32-bit desktops - one download, and apt-cache - and a one 64-bit laptop) and eight hours of aggravation I just wanted use my computers. Thank you for making Ubuntu so user-friendly!
