My wifi card is an 'external' one that plugs in (temporarily) to a PCMCIA slot in the laptop PC. I think the chip is a broadcom (BCM 4318). (It has been discussed already in some other threads in this mailing list). My sw is currently Unbunto 6.06 but I saw recently that apparently 6.10 is out now. I also might "conisder" using a dual boot (Windows, Gnu/Linux) setup. My employer issued me a laptop PC (which by the way has internal wifi that works fine) and it has that [dual boot (WindowsXP, Gnu/Linux)]. (On my own laptop, even if I were running WindowsXP, I would use Firefox rather than IE; ..actually, that is also done [usually] on my "work" laptop PC.) -- Mike Schwartz Glendale AZ schwartz@acm.org Mike.L.Schwartz@gmail.com
