english only language :-D a windows error robbed me of my education though by giving me narcotics legally.

spaz,
you are right to a point, however it does have to do with linux because linux does provide the drivers while microsoft does not, but that was your point and I kinda stole it, lets not argue anymore, I will end it with a big I agree.

please stick to topic and avoid attacking us personally and I will try to do the same courtesy to you, I do nopt claim to have done so thus far however so don't get started there. and are you attacking my disability (that I have decided to persue in jobs/educartion but exists none the less?) it might make my language skills into something next to nill, but my intelligence is in no way effected, but then again you may think good speaking skills is the same as intelligence, if that is true hitler was god as he managed to use good speaking skills to kill off hundreds. your use of good language skills does not mean you are correct

once again, you've shown an ineptness at reading. i already said, that there are none out of the box due to the fact the wireless card vendors do not provide drivers in the box. but the link shows which cards have support. but if you want a recommendation, linksys has linux support where you can download linux drivers. once again, it's called research.

well I am out of here, you have ceased to be entertaining and have reduced to avoiding the topic and insulting us. you can't win and are SCO'ing out of it. good luck I hope you find something to complain about once this runs out. GO TO FRANCE! (worse than hell)
