I subscribed to the list and gave them my new Ubuntu thread
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=11209840#post11209840
As far as the driver install, it was included when I installed dist-upgrade.
The drivers are there, just soft blocked.
Unfortunately, I am starting to think that the guy helping doesn't really
know what he's doing. If y'all could take a look at the thread and see if
you see anything strange, I would really appreciate it.
