can I download a different wireless driver and put it on a thumb drive to install on my hp or run windows on the hp and connect to the Internet and install to it and then reboot to Ubuntu? I'm using my Toshiba w/Ubuntu to trouble shoot? thank you.

This is what I had to do to get my wireless working. I also have a HP dv4-1225dx. I installed from a CD, which I'd burned the .iso to, and then I went into the "try ubuntu" option. (This was all discovered through trial and error.) I downloaded the proprietary drivers for the wireless, then went into the option System > Administration > Network Tools then clicked on the Netstat tab, and then chose the option for "Active Network Services." (My home wireless network showed up.) Then, once the the wireless network was up and running, I chose to install from within the desktop, and it finally retained the wireless after installing. I hope that helps because I'm just a newbie! :)
