Hi Ubuntu Team your reading this mail all the way from South East Asia Phil..I  decided to post this questions here because there is no Linux/Ubuntu community here in my location(Phil. Mindanao).
I have Installed Ubuntu hardy Heron on my compaq c700 presario Laptop as a virtual machine Operating system which enables me to run windows vista starter and Ubuntu hardy heron at the same time,It works but Im having alot of issues with it:
1.Wireless connection is not working!?I have the option to add a wireless networks but Im not finding any network at all.
2.Every Time I launch the Ubuntu hardy as a virtual machine Im getting a High  I/O in my harddrive!

And  would there be any website, community forums and computer group in the Phil.
 in Mindanao region that I can link with? It seems that Im the only one using Ubuntu in my neigborhood!? and if this system would crash I need perhaps some guidance with it any links or online manual that I can get from the net?
Im new with the system.

The specs of the laptops are

1.5 ram
80 gb harddrive 
celeron r processor
wifi adapter atheros(which I think may not support ubuntu not unless theres a driver for it?)

The Eee PC has non-working wireless out of the box. A patch is available from the madwifi website:

I'd like to have working wireless in hardy, without having to patch/compile manually :)
