True, true, and true. Got a Dell with Intel wireless.
Sweet! Laptop, you said? I’ll have to splurge one of these days.
I’ve got a mutt computer. I buy parts and put them together. Never had a hardware problem. The wireless is an Atheros chipset card. Quite a few Linuxes don’t like it without special tweaking. Just part of the fun. If it gets me out from MS’ boot, then I’ll pay the price and actually learn how things work.
