I had another happy penguin moment today. <br><br>I have an old IBM laptop that doesn't have wifi. I threw the laptop and a 4 year old dlink USB wifi adaptor in my suit case in hopes of maybe using the wifi with an as yet unbooted XP partion left on the laptop years ago.<br>
<br>But, once out of town I booted Ubuntu 9.04 to check some documents that I hoped to access from Winders and lo and behold the wireless was working! <br><br> When I bought this USB wifi stick years ago at the markdown counter at Microcenter I tried for days to get Mandriva to use it with no joy. Never tried it again.<br>
<br>Linux gets better with age.<br>
