I'm sorry for being so slow to reply. I have shelved my M92 for now, and mostly forget about it. I'd really like to get the screen fixed, but it looks like I won't find the cable without the whole screen.

Anyway, your wifi problem is mysterious. It's been so long since I set up Obuntu that I'm having a hard time remembering much at all about the process. (And I failed to take detailed notes, as I usually do, and often regret!)

One other thought: What if I dd an image of my install and upload it somewhere? If there's no issue with the hardware, it should work. But it's ~ 3.0 gb, so I'm not sure how to give you access to it. If you can tell me where I could upload it, I'll make an image and do so.

Also, another shot in the dark (again, without having worked on my M92 in some time and now not remembering much about it):

I have a laptop that dual boots Debian and OSX (which I really never use, although it took a long time to setup!). I learned that if I turn off wifi in Debian, OSX never sees it, and I can't turn it back on. So, there's some kind of hardware switch even aside from the physical switch on the laptop. Could something like this be a problem?
