Wireless woes

[Jeff Rollin]

Hi

I just had a thought on this subject. Could the problem I'm having be due to
not having the firmware/hal? I never thought to install anything since it
works in SuSE 10.0 out of the box. Is there a firmware/hal package/port in
ports?

Jeff.

Argument against Linux number 6,033:

"...So this is like most Linux viruses. You have to download the virus
yourself, become root, install it and then run it. Seems like a lot of work
just to experience what you can get on Windows with a lot less trouble."
