I just installed Xubuntu 11.10 on my system and wireless doesn't work. The wireless card worked perfectly on Ubuntu 11.10 and on the live CD version of Xubuntu 11.10. As soon as I installed Xubuntu 11.10 on my HDD, the wireless stopped working. I know it's not a driver issue, because it worked with everything else. The menu where you select the appropriate wireless network is grayed out and I can't even see available networks. If I unplug the wireless adapter and plug it back in, the light just stays solid. Any suggestions on things I can try?

I reinstalled again and everything worked fine. It seemed to happen, because I didn't select format when laying out custom partitions. One of Linux's many odd bugs. – Arthur Jan 2 '12 at 2:11
