I feel your pain, Ben. I remember about three years ago having my laptop |
| 23 |
working great with all manner of 802.11 cards. I could do my work |
| 24 |
anywhere in the house. And then it all just kind of melted. A new kernel |
| 25 |
for one thing but somehow something else fell apart. I've pretty much |
| 26 |
written off any wireless on Linux now. My time is worth more than the |
| 27 |
hours of troubleshooting. Keep plugging, you just might get it. |
