Well MSoft’s not the only one to miss the boat.  
The new Hardy Heron can’t drive the wireless on either of my new laptops, or the video on one.  
That being said, Ubuntu never called it “Ultimate” and tried to gouge $500 for it either…

Ouch!&nbsp; I haven’t run these distros in awhile, but, Suse and Mandriva may find your wireless cards.&nbsp; They both make a live bootable CD where you could check-out your wireless, video cards.
