I have an acer aspire 7551 laptop running windows 7 and I've successfully used wubi to also install ubuntu (the latest release version).
Wireless works fine on windows 7, but neither wireless nor ethernet works on ubuntu. In particular, the wireless icon shows up at the top-right (but no available connections show up when I click the icon).
When I connect my ethernet cable (which works fine when I plug it into my PC) to my laptop when it's running ubuntu and click the wireless icon, auto-etho shows up as an option but when I click it, it works for a few seconds and then disconnects. (Note - ethernet also doesn't work in windows 7 even though all the latest drivers are installed)
How can I get wireless and ethernet to work under ubuntu?
Additional Info
Ubuntu version: "Ubuntu 10.0 - the Maverick Meerkat"
