marfal posted a new comment:
Yep tried battery removal etc but still no joy, from the thumb drive so
to be a fresh install:

ran iwconfig

ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ sudo iwconfig

lo no wireless extensions.

eth0 no wireless extensions.

Pushed fn+f2 which returned "wireless lan off" bluelight on (had to press fn+f2 several times to get it to change)
this time-

ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ !!

sudo iwconfig

lo no wireless extensions.

eth0 no wireless extensions.

wifi0 no wireless extensions.

ath0 IEEE 802.11g ESSID:"" Nickname:""

Still can't see wireless network (ssid broadcasting + security turned
off) Stock xandros connects no problem.

ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ sudo lshw -C network

Tried sudo ifup ath0 which returned:

Ignoring unknown interface ath0=ath0

sudo ifdown ath0

ifdown: interface ath0 not configured


(repeated with wifi0 instead of ath0 but got the same results.
Blue light is on, network manager shows "enable Wireless" as ticked)

I hope this helps somebody figure out what the problem is.
