I've had the most luck with the ndiswrapper myself, although I did get native intel drivers to work. Some of the credit should go to Microsoft on this one for producing a stable binary network driver interface. YMMV, but I've been much happier using Windows drivers and VMWare. There might be a better interface for wireless networks that I don't know about, but personally I don't get a kick out of messing around with iwlist and iwconfig. I go down the SF a lot where there might be 5-7 networks in the neighborhood. I could easily spend 1/2 hour selecting the network and setting the WAP key etc. Plus setting up dual monitors in X is a pain. I can run Rhapsody on my laptop LCD, and emacs under Linux on my external monitor under VMWare. If any software has changed the way I use computers in the last 2 years it is VMWare. I can't say enough good things about it. But maybe I shouldn't scare you away. Your use case might be totally different than mine, and ndiswrapper and little one time x.conf hacking could be all you need. _______________________________________________ RLUG mailing list RLUG@rlug.org http://lists.rlug.org/mailman/listinfo/rlug
