[TriLUG] latest ubuntu updates killed my wireless

[Douglas A. Whitfield]

Merry Christmas everyone!

I've got a 7.04 live CD now with a driver that works (actually had the CD
before, but now have unexpected consistent wireless access).  How would I go
about getting the driver/stuff I need off the CD and into my Gutsy install?
When I go through Synaptic, it wants to download the driver from the sources
list.

Thanks!
