Re: [ubuntu-uk] wifi mini-survey

My laptop doesn't have Wifi support(Zyrex, PIV, local assembly). So, I bought the Wlan PCMCIA card bus when I used XP before. I have to work hard until I can use it in Ubuntu, because the only information that I got is the MAC ID stick on the card. http://taufanlubis.wordpress.com/2007/11/05/how-t

Hi folks, Just got back from helping out a work colleague's Mum with her fresh install of Ubuntu. I can't remember if I mentioned but he asked me a couple of weeks ago if I could 're-install' Windows XP on her PC. Basically her PC was his old one which had a dodgy copy of XP & Office on it.
