I finally convinced one of my Windoaz friends to try Linux (he got tired of his daughter trashing Vista and he has to deal with it). Anyway, I recommended Mint. The poor guy is running into problems with the wireless recognition. Here's a quote:<br>
<br><i>Well, I can't get it connected via wireless...wired is fine, and the
router DHCP list shows it, but it won't connect...</i><br><br><i>so, I'm reading in the Mint forum and folks are talking about what they
did to get wireless working on their Dell 1525 which has a Broadcom
chip that someone only wrote a replacement for back in Sept. And I
can't make heads or tails of it....grrr...<a href="http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Download...down" target="_blank">http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Download...down</a> at the Bleeding Edge area, talks about tarballs etc...Be sure you have your kernel headers installed first...WTF ?!?!</i><br>
<br><br>Anybody have any advice? <br>(Sorry, I haven't done any leg work myself....family issues...)<br><br><br clear="all">-- Asher <br>
