Installed Mepis at Newbie meeting at Clickers, but did not spend much
time trying to get card to work.   Could see signal strength, network, etc.
but not connect on a couple of tries.  Card originally worked well in clone
shop, but then wouldn't at cafe or Clickers.

Maybe I can get back to project this weekend.  Don't like having to keep
Windoze, but my laser printer won't work without it.  So I leave files to
print in a common partition from Linux.

Thanks,

Choppy
