Hello at long last Fabio, I just finished burning an ISO image of Natty 11.04 and ran it from CD and sadly, still only get wireless speeds @ 802.11g 54mbp/s where as my desktop speeds @ 1Gbp/s as I have Extreme Hi Speed Internet. I don't know what it's going to take to get this lap top to run in wireless N mode?
Hope this helps, otherwise I still plan on a fresh install, as I am installing a bigger hard drive and going back to a dual boot system on here, as much as I "hate the idea" of going back to windows (Vista ) as I need to do so in order to be able to get my NetFlix streaming into my Plasma TV from my lap top and no longer need to watch it in my computer chair from my Windows XPS XP Pro O.S. NetFlix will not run in Linux?? Thank you again for your time. Regards, Pierre. -- Pepe........
