[Nottingham] Possibility of help?

[Brian Pickford]

Hi Sean,

I recently changed to that distro and struggled for a while to sort the
Wifi.

For some reason, the eeesystem tray turns off the wifi after the first
reboot. Right click the computer icon in the top tray and click enable wifi.

Hope this is you problem, because it's an easy fix.

cheers, Brian
