Wubi installed ubuntu 10.04 can't use wireless network on laptop
Ubuntu 10.04.03 LTS was installed recently using Wubi. Wireless works well in WinXP on same laptop. So hardware has no problem. But no wireless network can be found in Ubuntu by network-manager or Wicd. Manually inputing wireless ESSID and password in network-manager didn't help. I have tried all commands related to wireless network I can find. The output are as below. It seems wireless card was disabled. But I couldn't find way to enable it. Any comments are welcome!
$ rfkill list
(no output)
$ sudo lshw -C network
