Wireless blogging

from the posts-without-frontiers dept.

After a couple of weeks of Googling, a Lonix meeting and a lot of compiling kernel modules, I've finally got wireless networking working on my Ubuntu laptop, with WPA-PSK support.

I reckon seamless wireless networking is the next big thing for the "Linux ready for the desktop" guys need to look at. Ready for the laptop perhaps? Loathe as I am to admit it, I didn't have half this problem with my girlfriend's Windows laptop and no its not just the hardware manufacturer's fault. If you can do it for the other hardware, why not wireless drivers?

Oh, and my new PSP is emulating firmware 2.71 nicely and also connects to my wireless network easily too. :-)
