RE: wg111 (wifi) + ubuntu (linux) still not playing nicely

Hi PaulI came across this site as I was searching how to make my new WG111v3 usb adaptor work under mandriva 2008 (I'll try it on my ubuntu machine later) - that has ndiswrapper installed and, like yours, didn't work. Your posting gave me the clue as...

Lost: bit annoying

Watched the new episode, hope you enjoy it if you watch it tonight. I'm convinced the story's still being made up as it goes along, and that there won't be any actual answers by the end of the show. Some new ideas introduced, I'll probably stick with...

Not sure where that came from...

... but I just got my old PC internetting wirelessly at last, without needing to buy any new bits, and by following a forum post from 2005. How many times have I tried this and failed? This time I tried something new, and it worked. I think I was ins...

wg111 (wifi) + ubuntu (linux) still not playing nicely

Everything was good until I upgraded to the newer "Feisty Fawn" version of ubuntu, now we're back to the drawing board. I have no wifi and sometimes I have no keyboard or mouse either. If any of the following instructions (which I'm copying and pasti...

IPOD pants

IPOD pants, Levi's possibly making a pair of fully wired jeans. There are a few things like this around already, but a pair of jeans is more practical around the home / office / high street than a bulky snowboard coat or rucksack. Oh and there's a ne...

Will do

I think there are still some issues with it being partly "locked down", I don't know Macs, so I don't know what sort of admin functions there are hidden away from the user account that's on there... I have the install disks for OS9.2 so thought I'd r...
