I have a Netgear USB adaptor which came free with my router. It didn't work on Edgy or Feisty but I thought I'd try it for on Gusty just for the sake of it and it worked really well!

[ubuntu-uk] [OT] Data loss from the Child Support Agency
Hi all, Many of you may have heard that Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs have lost the details of 25m people including bank details and various other information. I've just uploaded a quick guide to securing data - with an emphasis on picking good passwords - to my company's website @ http://www.cariss.co.uk/ It can be found under the news section on the front page. Hope this helps some people. Cheers, Matt. -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.kubuntu.org/UKTeam/

If you want to check the kernel version then use the following command in your terminal uname -a or do you want to check the kernel for any errors?

[ubuntu-uk] Netgear Pci Adapter
Hi to the group, I have written to the group a few times about the Netgear PCI adapter. I worked really hard to install this card with Ubuntu but to no avail. I researched forums, posted questions. I also did a clean install after mixing up the software. The only distro I found that worked with the card and was easy to configure was Mandriva. I am not really keen on Mandriva and went back to Ubuntu. I will use it without the internet. Today I found a Wifi USB dongle lying in a draw and thought "why not plug it in" Ubuntu found it and configured it. In a matter of minutes I was on line and sorting out the email and listening to the Archers. With XP the connection was weak, now with the usb dongle signal strength is about 95% I am going to download all the repositories later, can you tell I am pleased ?Happy days John-- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.kubuntu.org/UKTeam/

Don't forget, If you get really stuck - there's always Crossover Linux and perhaps Wine? that would run those irritating but essential Windows programs without Linux alternatives.

Googling for "hulu linux" took 30 seconds to find out that Linux is indeed claimed to be supported. It's a flash based thing.
