I recently installed Ubuntu 10.10 along side of my HP pavilion dv6 windows 7. For what ever reason it states that there is no hard ware for the WiFi and it is disabled. The only way for it to work is to have the WiFi on during windows then reboot it ( which is very unproductive) Is there any fix for it?

Have you toggled the hardware wifi radio button?

Looks like older versions of Ubuntu had problems with the button (ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1173984). Don't know if that's fixed now.– ScaineFeb 8, 2011 at 19:30

lspci | grep -i net
into your answer (not as a comment). That will help people diagnose the fault.
