So the plot thickens...
I went to
http://paulsdigitalworld.blogspot.com/2007/11/ubuntu-fedora-linux-hardware-working.html
I saw the "There are 3 services you need to turn on. Network
manager, network dispatcher and wpa_supplicant." And did a check
to see if these services were running, and they were not
activated at startup or running. I turn ed them on and bingo it
worked!
I can now get on wireless networks...yet there is an error at
boot looking for a wpa-supplicant.conf file
When the system first boots into x... I am not able to see
networks... yet if I go to services and restart wpa_supplicant, I
am able to see networks once again.
so... not it is just making it so the network loads at startup
smoothly....
