Seems there's a sudden revival of interest in this problem - and alpha 1's comment (#28) really chimes with me (I'm a web designer up through sass to php). After about a year wondering whether to try Linux on an NC10 Samsung netbook because Microsoft are abandoning support for Windows XP, I finally wiped the hard drive after USB-booting with several distros - with wifi fine on both live and persistence sessions. But I cannot now, after a full install and one whole, wasted day of trying every suggested MAC trick, driver quest and manual config, get a wifi connection - I can piggy-back unsecured networks but, so what? I could do that with Windows. I was happy to spend time delving through a (largely undocumented) Linux new world but if it can't get a simple wifi connection sorted without a computer studies then it's overrated. Like alpha 1 I'm left with an unusable netbook (I'll buy a non-Linux tablet instead) and wondering if Windows didn't at least get one thing right.
