No, you guys did fine....my statement was only half correct -- it works (I'm excited - my fist look @ Linux, want to see more....if only...) , but I can't get it to log on to my home wireless system -- but it did right away at the instalfest..... Probably some simple, small thing, but I am not having any luck fixing it....got past all the "keyring" issues I think --- I "think" I have some problem with "device recognition" (it says my output should be 'claimed', unclaimed, enabled, or disabled, but I get NONE of those...), but how could that be if it worked? (Wireless troubleshooting, 5.2.2), It does not look like it says it should, but it worked at first......what's with that? what's the diff 'twixt their wireless system and mine other than password? I'm trying to follow the troubleshooting guide, but what comes up may as well be Greek......and I do not read nor comprehend Greek..... lyle
