Comment 67 for bug 53310

I've followed these postings with interest, astounded by the trials and tribulations some users have to wade through to get their connection up and running again - no wonder so many newbies flee Linux in confusion! You don't have to plow through this stuff when you're using Windows ... Anyway, I had similar problems which now appear to be resolved, without recourse to any of the suggestions on these postings. I run Ubuntu 8.10 on and Acer 3680 laptop, and while I had trouble for a while, losing my wireless connection when I hibernated or suspended, but since I've done a clean re-install of Ubuntu 8.10 and downloaded ALL updates, I no longer experience this maddening problem. So perhaps there's an easier way for those who still have this problem??? I also had a problem getting Ubuntu to work with my Brother MFC-215, but this was also resolved after the reinstall & download...
