I'm new to linux, so -10 was my first kernel. Instantly with the update to -11 my wireless Internet was dead. NetworkManager did NOT show wlan0 anymore.

I'm not sure how Linux operates, and how programs deal with kernels so I thought I might have to update all my programs. I proceeded to remove ndiswrapper, NetworkManager and wpa_supplicant. I cleanly reinstalled everything and still the same problem, but I got my wireless network to be displayed, I just can't connect.

I learned on the Ubuntu forum that I can Esc on boot and change to the -10 kernel. I plan on trying that after I post this.

Hope this gets fixed, Windows looks good right now.
