[Chester LUG] BT WiFi routers

[Paul Williams]

I think I've got a similar problem.  A friend of mine asked me to dual boot his PC.  I put Ubuntu 10.10 and XP on it.  Problem is that XP won't detect any wifi signals at all, and Ubuntu detects them but refuses to connect.  He's got a BT business hub.
