Alright, under additional drivers it says no proprietary drivers are in use.

Did the steps on the link you sent and no help either.

Do I need to install Ubuntu? Right now I'm just booting from USB.

Live CD is fine, no need to install. I think to wireless adapter just died.

In ubuntu live cd open terminal as explained before. Then do:

Code:

 
sudo  su  -
lspci

Does it show the wireless thing in the output?

I did it and the two Realtek controllers are the ethernet and then an unassigned class: realtek semiconductor Co., rts5116 PCI express card reader.

A card reader is for reading SD-cards from digital camera or video camera for example.

Linux can't find the wifi adapter as well

I'll do that but something interesting happened when I went back to windows.

It said drivers were installing an I go t hopeful. Then it said that the Intel 5 series/3400 chipset family PCI and express root port 3 are ready to use. But that the network controller is "device unplugged." Doesn't sound too good

Anything changed in device manager? "other devices" or "network" group
