1) PC1: Wireless isnt working [1 minute]
2) PC2: Searching ubuntu forums why [2 hours]
3) PC1: Open box to figure out what hardware maker and model number you have [10 minutes]

5) PC1: Install driver from usb. Something still isn't right. Try to trace back your steps. [3 hours]
6) PC2: Search ubuntu fourms why it still isnt working. Find someone suggesting alternate method. [2 hours]
7) PC1: Apply the alternate method. It works. Or doesn't work. [20 minites]
8) PC1: Happy if it works, give up on Ubuntu if it doesn't.]]> Thu, 15 May 2008 02:30:45 +0000 Thu, 15 May 2008 02:58:20 +0000 Auto-Ndiswrapper would have been a great supplement to the out-of-the-box distro!
