    Moved this from Asus forum as its not really a asus specific issue, the problem of finding drivers for linux is more universal.

    Hi Deus. What notebook do you have? Do you know what hardware is in it? (e.g., What's the wireless card you're using? Who's the manufacturer, what's the model number, etc.) If you don't know, you can try to find the specifications of your notebook by creative Google searching. You can also check to see if your notebook's already been tested by an Ubuntu user or staff member by looking through the LaptopTestingTeam page on the Ubuntu wiki.

    Once you've gathered your information, head over to the Laptop Support Forum on the Ubuntu forums, post a new thread requesting help, and be as detailed as you can. The more information you provide, the more likely that someone on there will figure out how to help.
