The keypoint to me is that I can reboot into the Fedora live cd, and |
| 19 |
everything's fine. Or, I can boot into windows 2000. Why is the gentoo |
| 20 |
live cd behaving differently, or having different requirements? |

Heh. It's not really a wireless connection, though, is it? As far as |
| 27 |
the pc is concerned it's a wired connection. correct? I'm using the |
| 28 |
asus wl-330g as a wireless bridge. To my knowledge, fedora just sees a |
| 29 |
wired connection. I can try knoppix, but would expect it to work out of |
| 30 |
the box, too. |

How did you know it was wireless connection? |
