Thread: After reinstall/upgrade no touchpad, no wireless

this may (likely is) 2 issues. since both happening since did reinstall (my term think call upgrade 11.04-11.04) thought i'd lump them first.

dell inspiron mini has (of course) touchpad , wireless adapter ar9285. touchpad not being recognized (although in brief boot windows 7 fine there). i've tried adding backports, found in documentation, i'm lost. wireless adaptor being identified network being shown unclaimed. worked in windows, i'm sure although both worked fine after initial install, lost in recent upgrade.

problem don't know either issue next. of documentation on earlier ubuntu releases (not 11.04) , not ready backup in order clean install right now. have new install i'm cleaning , clean reinstall finished , reloading backed files onto.

i'm hoping i'm missing simple on one...just once nice! quick answers? need split them 2 issues , post elsewhere?

okay....i figure going want see @ least 1 of these here are: iwconfig, lspci, & lshw....not sure might need touchpad....let me know.....
