have installed ubuntu 10.10 on laptop , of stuff working. there 2 things not working:

1. broadcom wireless
when on kubuntu working out of box using keyboard fn+f3. same keys used start bluetooth. bluetooth working wireless not.

2. have external aoc2243fwk display , whenever connect display since boot time. taskbar applets wrong or non orderly positions on other hand, if boot without connecting monitor , when plug in monitor , configure display settings. on taskbar fine. why weird behaviour taskbar???
