Hello PLUG,
I'm using Ubuntu now and it works as a charm... everything detected in
my Dell Inspiron 510m; most important my wireless card.
My wireless LAN card is in eth0. ifconfig says:
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:0C:F1:48:8E:96

Alright, seems everything correctly configured huh!
I have another machine running Windows XP and Ad-hoc (Peer-to-peer)
connection running.
My notebook is in dual boot (XP and Ubuntu) and while I'm using XP i
can succesfully connect to my other XP machine (desktop).
While if I'm using Ubuntu, i'm not able to ping the desktop.
Obviously I'm not so familiar in configuring wireless in Linux. Will
you please give me some pointers and tips or Howtos will be great how
to setup wireless in Linux so that I can connect to XP box.
Thanks in advance and happy weekend.
