Try getting a more recent of Ubuntu pyromaniac. 7.02 is probably a bit too old now for your hardware.

As proopnarine said, get a more recent version. The current version, 8.10, seems to work well with most hardware. I have had the best luck with it on laptops to get the wi-fi working "out-of-the-box".

Sometimes real fast is almost as good as real time. Remember, Google is your friend!
