I don't get this one. I guess I've just been lucky and have only bought |

I also have been working on making net-setup on the LiveCD |
| 13 |
wireless-capable, so expect to see that for the 2004.3 release. Also, |

has anyone written up good documentation for setting up wireless for the |
| 15 |
Handbook? That would probably be a good idea of something to do. |
