[wplug] Wireless cards and redhat..

[John Harrold]

Sometime in September Aaron M. Johnson assaulted the keyboard and produced:

| I bought a few "WaveBuddys", which are about the cheapest cards available
| [~$13]. I'm using it now, but it took a while to figure out the drivers.
| It turns out that i didnt have the right kernel source, and now it works
| fine.  I have only been able to configure it by hand using the text based
| config program that came with the driver--i'm working on getting it to
| detect my network automagically.
|
| The other problem is that i have never successfully removed it without
| causing problems. That is fine for me, as i use wireless 99% of the time
| so i never have to, but it would be nice to be able to remove it at will.
| 
| SO,
| -WaveBuddy [using the atmlwlandriver] "works"
| -It was dirt cheap
| -Have to compile kernel module
| -it doesnt work as well as one would hope, but it gets me on the internet.

I think you might have missed the word kanoodling down there at the
bottom.

 liberty and democracy?
