driver problems

[Fade]

alright my cuz brought me his computer its a acer 2.0 GHz processor 512 ram came with vista. it ran horrible slow so i put linux mint on it but for some reason it doesn't want to find the wireless drivers.any ideas? never really had this problem with linux before.

ok i decided to change it from mint to ubuntu satanic edition cause he likes it better.what are the chances of having the same driver problem tho?

[manipulate]

It all depends on the drivers that are bundled with the distribution, I suggest throwing plain Ubuntu on there rather than the stupid modifications; they just get in the way.
Also; just wait it out a few days until Karmic Koala final is released as there are a lot of driver 'fixes' in that release.
