Wireless! Woo!

Saturday, January 19th, 2008

Hehe. As I’m moving soon, and I’m only going to have wireless internet, I thought I’d sit down and have a look to see whether the D-Link USB adapter I’ve had for about 2 years would actually work with Linux, which, while it had previously picked up details of the networks, never seemed to work.

After reading through a couple of Ubuntu Wiki Pages, I managed to download, compile and install the working module - and guess what - it works!

Now this is great news - I won’t have to go out and search for a new Wireless Dongle/Card, and well - seeing as the end of my ethernet cable is missing the clip, and keeps falling out of the router, I can now use wireless! woohoo! (and it’s even working with WPA!)

Oh, and hello Planet #bitfolk
