Loaded 9.10 on HP pavilion ze4900 and have no blue light for wireless connection, wireless don't work.

Do you know what kind of wireless card you have? if so you can try finding the drivers for it and look up a tutorial to install it on Ubuntu.

Are you for real? Keep your stupid comments to yourself if you don"t have anything that can actually help to say.

Can you chill and give the output of:

sudo lshw -C network

Thanks

If you get a wired connection the updates may make it work ok.

Solved:
In the Terminal I typed:
lspci
This showed me what I had as far as a network card (LSPCI) but small letters I had a BCM4306 (rev 03).

I used the chart at: http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Drivers/b43#fw-b43-lp
to see if I needed Driver b43legacy or just b43, (mine used just b43)

I put in the install disk double clicked on it and went to pool - main - b - b43-fwcutter (first file under b) double click on it and install the b43-fwcutter_012-1_i386.deb that is inside. it will get to a point to have you check the box for automatically fetch and install firmware into the right location, make sure you do that.

Then I connected to the internet with my ethernet cable (landline connection), and typed into the Terminal:
sudo apt-get install b43-fwcutter

it went out on the internet and downloaded the rest of what it needed and I just restarted the computer when it was done and now it works.

(note: I don't have a clue as to what I did right or wrong or did unnecessarily to get this to work as I was just going off what I found on forums all over, but this is what I think I did to fix it. I hope it helps others with the same issue.)
