Hahaha, I wiped away windows on this box long ago and I
bought it secondhand and with no documentation, so in
fact I don't know what the wifi card is anymore. I'm
considering putting windows on there just to see what
the wifi card is. Thinking about it deeply though, since
the restore CD will wipe the disk, so I need to backup,
restore, restore the data, restore the configs. It's a
significant investment of time :-).
If all that takes more than 2 days to get everything
right again, I'll just buy a USB wifi device, I want
to have one around anyway :-).

Yeah, I'm considering Edgy too. I'll install Edgy on
a spare partition before I install windows. I've got
the installer already, so I'll install it this weekend
probably.
