Theoretically yes. What version of ebook is it and where did you get the first Ubuntu image that wasn't working in the first place? Did you install it while conneted to the internet through your network card the first time? Have you looked for a forum regarding your hardware specifically? I know configuring network devices can be a daunting task sometimes, specifically when windows was the original OS. Try another distribution also to see if it has the correct drivers for your wireless card. I would look to Fedora, Suse, or maybe CentOS. Hope this helps.

I had Ubuntu on my ASUS Eee netbook, and I couldn't figure out why it wasn't "shaking hands" with my wireless router.   I took it in to a friends' shop, and they put this horrible Android OS on it, which seems like my netbook now has a telephone OS....I have a portable disc burner/ drive, so I should be able to order a disc from Ubuntu,  wipe Android and re-install Ubuntu, right?
