[Wolves] USB wireless adapters

[Don Cockman]

Nope, no mini PCI slot (super-cheapo laptop :-( )

Ended up with some netgear  thing, setup ndiswrapper OK, but every time
I load the module, the keyboard seems to lockup (which is *very*
useful...) I unplug the usb stick, and it springs back to life again... 
There's something about similar problems on the ndiswrapper site, but I
just haven't had the time to look at it further..

I'll probably end up waiting 'til I get a new laptop now..

Cheers  anyway,

Don
