/boot/config-2.6.27-11-generic exists, so

sudo cp /boot/config-`uname -r` ./.config

sshould work.

uname -r now results in:

2.6.27-12-generic

I got wireless workignt thorugh GSM (AT&T USB Connect Mercury). THe GSM modem even started working under Network Mangler. Wired and 802.11 still would nto work.

I went into the menu option System\Software Sources and checked the box by "Software restricted by copyright or legal issues (multiverse)
under the Ubuntu Software tab and added and checked the box next to http://ppa.lauchpad.net/network-manager/ubuntu hardy main
uder the Updates tab I checked the box next to Pre-release updated (Intrepid-proposed).

After that I went to the menu option System\Update Manager and checked for updates and installed all it came up with.

After that Opera would not run, Catalyst Control Center would not run, EnvyNG would not run, Network Mangler would not connect to anything.
When I attemtp to run Opera, Cat Ctrl Cntr and EnvyNG from the console I get the message "Floating point exception".

The origional issue was simple. Everything worked the way I wanted other then I could nto use a set of USB headphones I wanted to use. So I was goignt o build, compile and install an updated Kernel and enable USB Audio or whatever that option is in the Kernel.

Now I have just F'ed up the entire system.

I am about to give up. I am looking at imaging the drive and just starting over. I am no Linux expert and it has taken me about 6 weeks to get everything set the way I want which is why I am not lookign forward to redoign all my settings.

If you want an imaging solution, take a look at SystemImager, CloneZilla, or Ghost4Linux (there are howtos for all three solutions here on HowtoForge).

Thanks for the suggestions. I am pretty sick right now and may wait until I return to work next week to work on the Linux partition again. The Win XP partition works fine so I can function for now.
