Using USB wifi Belkin F5D7050 802.11G adapter. Worked great under 9.04. Now, IF it connects, it stays connected for 1-20 seconds, then disconnects. I went to Network Manager Applet 0.8 which reports the SSID and network of the connection (which I had to add manually) and also an ifupdown (wlan) interface which can not be edited or deleted. I am hesitant to do the Broadcom update since this isn't a broadcom card that I know of. What I would like is for the wifi to connect when booted and stay connected. Is that going to be possible with 10.04 in the current status. No connection makes if difficult to get updates, as well as use the machine. Thanks. Upgraded from 9.04 to 10.04.

I am green to Linux, but I have really enjoyed using it so far, much better than Windows. I just need to get my wireless working. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

I myself is a PRM and vouch for its suitability for risk management positions. @Ashwini- India is opening upto Risk Management skillset benchmarking slowly. Earlier most of the people (in public sector banks) only knew about DTIRM (IIBF) and also ICAI used to run risk management course. Believe me, (I remained in risk management stream in Public sector for 8+ years) if some organisation knows FRM, it knows PRM too. Lately I have seen specialist officers recuitment in risk management department for IDBI asking for FRM/PRM as desirable qualification. All the best. Congrats for making that choice.
