Hello,
I installed ubuntu 8.04 on my hp pavilion dv2899et (dv2000 series) notebook which comes with vista. After I've installed there was no problem but now cd-rom is not working. What can be the problem? Thanks for your help

Configuration: Linux
Firefox 3.0.4

I have the same computer, following this next steps I could make it work. In my case my wireless card is a Atheros AR242X

IF you don't know which is your:

lspci

--First we unable support for Atheros 802.11 Wireless LAN System>Adminitration>Hardware Drivers

--Second install linux-backports-modules

sudo apt-get install linux-backports-modules-intrepid-generic

when you get done with the installation reboot the computer then we go to System>Administration> Hardware Driver and see if our new driver is working also our wireless car should be looking for networks on range by now.

in my case everytime I reboot linux I have to Deactivate my new driver and then activate it again and it starts working.

Note: we can check if our module ath5k has been load using "lsmod" command if we see that "ath_pci" is mounted we should unmount it using "sudo rmmod ath_pci"
we also have to stop it from mounting every time we reboot the system.

echo "blacklist ath_pci" | sudo tee -a /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.
