Updated 11.10 - now trackpad and wifi won't work. How can these be fixed?
- by Aron Standley
I reinstalled 11.10 on my Asus EEE 1005HA, and my mousepad hasn't been working since.
I've tried the workarounds mentioned in this post:

but, I get the message on the command line that says, "Synaptic isn't installed."
When I go to the network settings to install Synaptic, I can't turn on wifi - no wireless options exist.
How can I turn on wifi from the command line, on a new 11.10 install?
Or, is there a way to turn on the trackpad and wifi from the install thumb drive?
How can I move forward?
