Ah, darn. It's grub.conf on Gentoo, and menu.lst (I've just noticed) is a symbolic link to grub.confit's supposed to be /boot/grub/menu.lst or /menu.conf
I think it's the former

Type in
ls /boot
and
ls /boot/grub
And post the results here please.
Edit: and add -l
so
ls /boot/grub -l
Just to show permissions. Are you sure you're adding sudo in front of the command?

so far this is what i am changing
(was ture figured that since it is a computer that many people will be on less options is better so no one screws shit up )
## should update-grub create alternative automagic boot options
## e.g. alternative=true
## alternative=false
# alternative=false
## should update-grub lock alternative automagic boot options
## e.g. lockalternative=true
## lockalternative=false
# lockalternative=true
and should i change this one??
## should update-grub adjust the value of the default booted system
## can be true or false
# updatedefaultentry=false

Yeah, USB cards don't work so good .
That's another reason I think Ubuntu is a bit lacking. Wifi support either works or doesn't.
Take my Gigabyte WPKG wireless card. Ubuntu supposedly has drivers pre-installed, but it can't connect to any networks. Reboot to Windows, and I get a four out of five bar connection.
On my dad's laptop, however, it picked up the network like a charm.
Just saying...wifi is on/off.
