either your card will be working or it won't. no silly binary wrappers,
no messy modules, and definitely no bloat.
Most likely, it won't. I don't see how that's an improvement.
Well, it appears I was mistaken....
Ubuntu does in fact come to life after I log in with the user account I
set up - it just takes 45 minutes to do so.... this is a good thing
really, since I've been wanting to slow down and smell the roses more
often..... <g>
Clearly this isn't the machine to be running Ubuntu, or prolly anything
else w/ a rich GUI.... since it's just a "sit on the couch and surf the
net" machine I'll need to try Plan B....
Is it seeing the wireless card and the network properly? No clue really
- stuff took so long to load up I never could really tell what was
available to tweek. I do know that when I eventually got into a browser
that I couldn't go anywhere... pinging didn't work either....
BSD appeared to load up just fine - I watched it zoom past dealing with
the wireless card and then landed me at the shell... groovy - now what?
If I knew what to do at this point I could fix Ubuntu (at least before I
found out how slow it would be).... pinging the world didn't work...
Small Damn Linux seemed usable if I could just get on the wireless
network... any chance I can bring it to the next meeting and maybe get
some help? By the way, when/where is the next meeting?
I know the wireless router that this thing used to connect to before
replacing my DSL router is alive, since I have another notebook on site
that can see it, so I know it's broadcasting....
