Yeah, I use wifi-radar on a WEP network. It has the option for WAP as well, I just used wep cause it was the quickest and easiest to set up, and like you security wasn't really a huge deal. Now if it works for me, there is no doubt it will work for you, the wifi card I use is broadcom mini pci express bcm4311, which is not supported at all under linux, so I am using ndiswrapper to make it work. Network Manager wont even acknowledge that the card exists and Network settings under Ubuntu tells me the signal strength is always 100%. Only wifi-radar tells me the actual strength and allows me to use encryption (other than command line of course). So if you have a supported card, you should have no worries at all.

Hi Ashley check out the Ubuntu Community Forums http://ubuntuforums.org/ About half-way down the page see "Support & Resources" - "HOWTOs, Tips & Tricks" or ths thread http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=53050 which is an index of HowTos. Bill Hi all, I decided to try ubuntu 6.06 for a change and replaced my SuSE 10. The only problem I now have is that I am unable to watch the golf streams on www.thegolfer.com.au. This worked on Firefox in SuSE but does not seem to work under ubuntu. The viewer says that a plugin is required (it is unfortunately windows media player plugin). I installed mplayer and then the mplayerplug-in file for firefox but this starts to cache the content and then crashes out. I've accepted that Linux cannot view some web pages, do I just have to accept that this is another one or can anyone suggest a solution?

As Jeff mentioned earlier, you'd be best off using Easyubuntu instead of
Automatix. Easyubuntu is recommended by Ubuntu developers; Automatix is
discouraged.
