| 1160442 | 2010-12-13 09:32:00 | ^ And this ladies and gentleman, is why the world prefers Windows!.......LOL Not really a fair comment - the main reason there are problems with wireless in Linux is that the manufacturers change the chipset and leave the model name the same. One week a known card or USB device will work - then the chipset changes to some obscure one that no longer works. I have tried asking the importer to tell me which chipset a particular card will have and they cannot. |

| 1160443 | 2010-12-13 19:08:00 | ... case in point the USB dongle I bought. Depending on which version it is, depends on which driver is to be installed. Some work straight out of the box, others require that certain other drivers are blacklisted before they will load (conflicts). For all the research I tried to do before it arrived, that all went out the window because of the version number | Myth (110) | ||
