It took me a few tries to get Ubuntu working. Once I did, it seemed to recognize everything.on my computer. What exactly is the computer you installed it in? If it is a standard brand computer that is not too old, it should have loaded the proper drivers. One option would be to wipe your hard drive and try again. Then again, some Linux guru, which I am not, might be able to put you onto the correct driver.

Another option would be to wipe your hard drive and try Linspire 5.0. Like Ubuntu, it is a Debian based Distro and if Linspire works, then you know that the correct driver exists within the Debian community
