I have installed Ubuntu 10.10 dual boot on a several years old Toshiba Laptop.  Sat 115

I connect at home via Windows through a secured network on a Tenda g/n router, and at several restaurants with WiFi setups.  The connection is fast and automatic in Windows XP (media center edition).

In Linux, I click on the network menu, and an Icon labeled Windows Network appears (at Home) Clicking on it results in a dialogue box Unable to mount location.

Not being an Ubuntu user, Fedora 14 is  what I use, I'm guessing your using an unsupported WiFi adapter. Do you know what adapter you have? Then it's a question of supported chip sets. Also you may not get all the features you use under Windows.

A good resource is
