Hi all,
I need some advice.
I have a friend who has an old laptop but it doesn't have wireless built
in. I've installed Xubuntu to it and it runs nice. He wants to get it
wireless but alas I have no knowledge in this area at all so some help
would be appreciated.
What can you recommend from personal experience/knowledge?
If the laptop has a PCMCIA slot the easist solution is to plug in a
suitable wireless card in here. There are plenty of Linux compatible
ones but not all the latest ones will work out of the box. The one I
use is a CISCO AIRONET 340 series. It is only 11Mbps but it works
without any installation at all on my Dell Inspiron 2650 running
Slackware 11. It cost me about £14.
