excellent, I am in Wolverhampton and am able to collect.  I could do with
it asap ;-) if you could email me off list with your details we can

it should do.  As far as I am aware the yast/kde combo should make setting
up a wifi card pretty easy.  I have the built in mini pci card and it can
be a pain.

A lot of people are in the same boat.  Perhaps we need the odd one off
event type thing so extras can turn up.
