Dear team,
I have been struggling with trying to get my laptop to use its wireless
functionality. I am getting some rather horrible debug in the kernel
error messages, so I thought I would join this forum and ask for some
advice. I am not fussed about a pretty light on the top of my laptop
working, just a functioning wireless system.
I have read some of the messages on the list - I know you guys don't
take prisoners, so I hopefully will provide enough debug for you to
provide some information.
