Thumbs down Ubuntu 9.04 (Alpha 1) on MSI Wind [Problems]

So I decided that I would install this straight onto my laptop, and see what happens.

As soon as I restarted my laptop after upgrading, I reallised that my Wifi wasn't working... So yeah, no biggie, I just installed all the drivers needed. Now it will find my Wifi Internet, and connect.. but I have no internet - even when I am connected by cable.

My sound has also messed up too

Before you say, I know it was totaly stupid to upgrade to an development thingy on my main laptop. But still, too late now.

I just wondered if anyone has any ideas on what to do?

thanks,
Jam

wow 9.04 is already being made...that was fast.
As for your the problems, i would imagine the alpha is just not very far in development. the sound architecture is probably not up to scratch and the internet...i have no idea?
Does it say you're connected? and if so, when you open firefox does it say 'Page cannot be displayed'? or whatever the message is.

I have decided yo re-install 8.10 now, so I no longer have the problem.

But yeah, the normal page would come up as if I wasn't connected to the Internet.
I was just going to bare with it, until they released some more updates, but then I realized that I wouldn't be able to download and install them anyways
