Alfred,
I had a nightmare with WiFi and LINUX, gave up in the end and after some
advice from this forum started looking in to ether bridges. Eventually
I found the Devolo ether over mains plugs. I found these work a treat.
Router is upstairs on the upstairs ring main(as it should be!) and the
EMC CNC PC is out in the shed on a spur from the kitchen(no comment re.
the main setup please). I plugged everything in, setup the devolo units
in their own network and then switched on the EMC box. Hey presto,
internet, network comms to my XP Pro SP2 PC (plus all other household
PCs) file transfer to workshop really easy with LINUX. I can get auto
updates for EMC and Ubuntu + email and internet. No setup required for
Ubuntu, just detected the network on off it went.
I bought another Devolo unit for the wife's laptop and have now switched
off the router WiFi - it was always a pain to use + not that secure.
There are plenty of other manufacturers of these plugs, I not
advertising just sharing my experience.
One final thing, I found the network speed was very plug sensitive out
in the workshop so its worth swapping things around if things appears to
be running slowly.
Regards
Andy

Subject: [Emc-users] wireless network campatiblity?EMC2 Live CD
Could someone give me a heads up on their experience with wireless
network pci cards and routers?
and the drivers that come packaged with the EMC2 live cd and what worked
for them.
Is the EMC2 live cd a striped down version of Ubuntu?
I do not have a compiler installed so,I really have no way to compile a
driver if need be, I ran into this dilemma with a winmodem already.
I would like to get my Linux box online and networking also.
Can a Linux machine and a windows machine be networked together,and
access each others drives, and recognize each other?
Sorry for posting here, but I am not sure what the Live cd has for
drivers on board , and from some sights I see you may need to compile a
driver to get up and running.
