"If a man is offered a fact which goes against his instincts, he will scrutinize it closely, and unless the evidence is overwhelming, he will refuse to believe it. If, on the other hand, he is offered something which affords a reason for acting in accordance to his instincts, he will accept it even on the slightest evidence."

May 16	comment	Wireless connection get disconnected and then gets connected for a few times after booting Well, I'm stumped. I suspect you may have to blacklist some modules but as I don't have an Ubuntu box handy I think I should leave this to the experts. Sorry I couldn't be of assistance. In the meantime you may want to take a look at ubuntuforums.org.

May 16	comment	Wireless connection get disconnected and then gets connected for a few times after booting OK great. So now we know your WiFi chipset, namely BCM4312. I'll post up how to get things working as an answer.
May 16	comment	Wireless connection get disconnected and then gets connected for a few times after booting This is a good post detailing how to find such info. It's not important what router you have but rather what WiFi adapter you have (inside the computer or as a USB adapter). In your case opening a terminal and doing `sudo lspci -nn` or `sudo lsusb` if you have a USB WiFi adapter will give some more information.

May 16	comment	second NTFS partition not reachable in 10.10 and in 11.04 It's probably worth making a /etc/fstab entry for the NTFS partition you need. (E.g. /dev/sda2 /media/windows ntfs-3g defaults,locale=en_US.utf8 0 0). For this to work you need to first do `sudo mkdir /media/windows`. Better than /dev/sda2 (which is what I'm guessing the partition number is) is to use the UUID. This can be found by doing `sudo blkid`. More info here.
