my laptops wireless connection ?... HELP !


Recommended Posts

i just bought a HP Pavilion yesterday and i installed ubuntu and everything is working but the wireless i guess? i have a indicator light on the front of my laptop when i turn on wireless " it turns blue for on & orange for off ". it won't change to blue at all, does this mean my wireless won't work ?

i looked under the restricted drivers and it says it had a driver install for my " atheros 802.11 wireless lan card". will this driver work or do i need something different ?

any help would be appreciated !!!!

Not sure bout drivers and linux as I am a total noob when it comes to that but I just wanted to add that most of the time those wireless buttons, volume buttons and indicator lights are software driven. So I wouldn't entirely go by that light.
