Hi all,

So I decided to go for it and do a fresh install of the latest Natty
build on my VPCZ. It's great! I installed fresh using natty daily build
alternate install iso from a USB, installed on the whole disk. Out of
the box the graphics are looking as nice as they ever did for me with
the hacked vaioz kernel, and finally the audio is working.

I still have not been able to get the wireless up though :( It believes
there is a "hard blocked" sony-wifi and nothing I do works. rfkill,
network manager restart, etc etc.

Here's some more info on my problem:

 lspci | grep Network00:19.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation
82577LC Gigabit Network Connection (rev 05)
02:00.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation Centrino Advanced-N 6200

lo        no wireless extensions.

eth0      no wireless extensions.
