I just loaded Petra onto my HP ProBook 4540s several days ago. I am a brand new user and am still getting used Linux, but I love it so far. Currently, I am jacked in via ethernet cable, but I can't seem to access my wireless network. I can see it in my network manager and it does try to connect. However, it ends up failing, and sometimes says "Out of range". My wireless card is "Ralink corp. RT3290 Wireless 802.11n 1T/1R PCIe" (see code below).
On another note, I went to Starbucks today and tested the wifi AND IT WORKED! So I know that something is working.
