Wifi doesn't work in Ubuntu 8.04/8.10/9.04 - The laptop only get signal when it's near the AP. The problex it's fixed, installing the package: linux-backports-modules

2009 01 04 -  XP & Linux distros on Toshiba Satellite L300, 2GB dual core processor with 4GB RAM

Ubuntu & Knoppix LiveCDs:  Zilch.  BSOD (Blue Screen Of Death)

Called Toshiba support (pleasantly surprised by getting to a human voice within 2 branches of the automated menu tree) - was told that the motherboard drivers did not support anything but Windoze Vista.

**  Also note:  XP will apparently not work on anything > 3GB RAM.  BSOD yet again.
