If we haven't actually entered the modern age, we're at least standing on its doorstep, huddled against the cold and rain, peering jealously at the wonders within.
What I mean is, we've finally been able to move beyond dial-up to something approaching reasonable network speeds, thanks to the folks at No. 8 Wireless. The next into the modern age is to get my laptop networking wirelessly under Ubuntu. I've installed 'ndiswrapper', and the USB stick seems to be working. 'wifi-radar' reports finding the router, but I haven't been able to get a connection up. [In the interest of full disclosure, I will admit that I got it connected under Windows XP, but what good does that really do me? It does show the hardware works, though] Google, bless whatever passes for its helpful little soul, provides all sorts of hits for various combinations of likely-sounding search terms. Rather than trawling through the twenty-three-million websites Google believes (with perhaps an overabundance of optimism) are Just What I'm Looking For, I thought I'd start ask the kind folks here. So, any recommendations for an up-to-date, concise, 'wi-fi' how-to?
