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....
