Re: [Staffslug] Linux and Wi-Fi

Dave. It could be that the manufacturer has done the usual trick of subtly changing the chip that is used on the wireless card. I have no personal experience of setting up wireless networking on any platform. However, I have read extensively of this manufacturers nasty little trick. I'm sure it's really deliberate but they do appear to have a habit of changing spec's but not changing the actual model of the wireless card :-( I fear that we are back to a similar situation of years gone by where some cards would work with Linux but others simply wouldn't and it was a case of make sure you purchased a known Linux friendly card :-( Not a good situation.. -- ============================================== Kevan Farmer Linux user #373362 Staffordshire
