[ale] help me convert a non-believer

[scott]

that is a great idea..

sometimes the wireless drivers arent there in linux so you have to run  
a NDIS(?) driver from windows on top of the NDIS stack in the system.   
Isnt the cleanest or best way but works for cards that there is no  
lnux driver for.

http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Devices  is a starting point

if the laptop is a Dell, Dell has help on their website to run linux  
on their systems. (http://linux.dell.com).  IBM (aka Levno now) and HP  
should have similar info I just dont know where it is.

god luck
