Add "Having trouble with your wireless network?" section  
Written by cmol the 20 Jul 08 at 10:43. Category: Internet & Networking. Related to: Synaptic package manager. New
Due to the problems regarding wireless network there should be a section helping new users to configure it when having problems.

It could be a simple page with a small checklist:
"Is your device switch on?" (some laptops can switch on/off the device by some button)
"Is your wireless access point configured?"
Etc.

At the same time, giving an option to use "auto-NDISwrapper" for installing the drivers (and a guide howto).

Properties Shortcut

Hi

In windows i can do "Alt(Gr) + Enter" to access properties of the file or folder i have highlighted.

That I miss badly!

EDIT:
Just played around.
Turns out it works with the Alt key, but not the AltGr key.
So my request goes for making it work with AltGr.

Include auto-NDISwrapper in 8.10  
Written by cmol the 18 Jul 08 at 22:05. Category: Hardware support. Related to: Update manager. New
The auto-NDISwrapper is out in ver. 0.1

When the time comes to spreading out 8.10, it will hopefully be much further in development.

Include it and get rid of those damn wi-fi problems!
