[dundee] A newbee without a scooby :O)

[Lee Hughes]

alternatively go and buy a well supported linux usb stick/pcmcia card... at least that
will get you on to the network, while you fix this darn wireless driver problems.

When are wireless chip makers going to understand open source drivers?

what are the protecting, are the scared I'm going to reprogram the mac and 
physical layer protocols? hey, that's a good idea, anyone up for writing something 
better than the current 802.11 CSMA/CA ?

;-)

Cheers,
Lee

Try turning off the security to establish if you have the wireless card
working correctly. I seem to remember someone posting a good while ago
re- problems with Toshiba wireless - hopefully this may prick someone
elses memory.
