This doesn't relate to the operation of any of our centrally managed nodes, so you should ask on the general mailing list instead (this reply is cc'd there): [email protected] Linux drivers for commodity wireless adapters is indeed a problem. One option might be to take your computer to one of the PLUG Linux Clinics (third Sunday of the month at Free Geek). Another option is to get a wired client device (like a Ruckus MM2211 DZ) and use that. That way you don't need wireless drivers on your Linux PC, they reside on the Ruckus which you connect to with normal ethernet. Maybe someone else has other ideas. -- Russell Senior, Secretary [email protected] --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ The Personal Telco Project - http://www.personaltelco.net/ Donate to PTP: http://www.personaltelco.net/donate Archives: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.network.wireless.portland.general/ Etiquette: http://www.personaltelco.net/index.cgi/MailingListEtiquette List information: http://lists.personaltelco.net To post to this group, send email to [email protected] To unsubscribe from this group, send email to [email protected] -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
