Hello one and all.
A question for you, which would you consider the distro to be Wi-Fi
Friendly? (I.e. not too much of a pain to get things up and running)..
If I remember correctly, I've got a Broadcom and Belkin Wi-Fi adapters..
If you use Ubuntu then you just need to connect it to the internet via a
wired connection, then plug the broadcom device in. The restricted driver
manager should pop up, just follow the prompts (a couple of clicks and enter
your password) and it will go and get the firmware. Job done.
Cheers,
Al.
