Elantech & Wireless

I am please to inform everyone that the "Elantech" Touchpad is now working under Koala Beta. Though it is not as responsive when I boot into WinXP, at least now, I don't have to plug in a mouse to use my laptop.

Before I went the upgrade path from 9.04, shuffling my laptop between my workplace and my home, I have no problem with wireless making connection at work after I upgraded. But last night, my laptop could not connect to my DD-WRTed WRT54GL at home. And when I went to work earlied today, I my laptop can identify the APs at work, but could not connect to the same AP I used yesterday.

Of course, being in Beta, my expectations are more realistic. Just the same, so far I am impressed with how Ubuntu is turning out to be. Great work guys!

If it's presented as a USB device as I suspect, it would be nice you
shared the USB ID and also reported is as working at

Likewise, sharing the results of sudo lshw -C network will provide
information about your wireless chipset and current driver.
