I was in N.Y.C. this week otherwise I would have replied to this thread sooner.
I have a simple peer-to-peer wireless network set up for my desktop and notebook
PCs'. Being a newbie to linux it was quite a challenge to get it working,
but persistance and patience paid off. I would first suggest you go to <a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="http://www.linuxquestions.org">www.linuxquestions.org</a>
and do a search on wireless networking, you should find a ton of info from
those threads. They have a fellow there named 'Finegan' that seems pretty
informed about linux and wireless. You should be able to find out which wireless
cards work best and which don't, and they can probably explain things better
than I could. <br>
<br>
When I bought my laptop from Dell I purchased their 'TrueMobile' wireless
cards which were made for them by Orinoco. Using hindsight (20/20 vision)
it wasn't all that difficult. Where I tripped up was after I set everything
up and edited the 'lilo.conf' and saved it, I didn't know you had to open
up a terminal and enter the command "/sbin/lilo" to make those changes permenant.
That one little oversight caused me all kinds of grief and time trying to
get it working, but I kinda laugh now everytime I think about it.<br>
<br>
If I can help you in any way let me know. This is probably the only area
of linux where I <u>'might'</u> be of help to anyone as I spent a long time
on it<span class="moz-smiley-s1"><span> :-) </span></span><br>
