Networking :: Intel PRO/Wireless 2200BG Again - please be gentle
Well - it's interesting this topic has suddenly come to life again!
I ended up trying Puppy Linux. I found the user-interface to be very friendly for one who had experience with Windows. The community there is fantastic, and helped me get through the inevitable teething troubles with getting my wireless card to work.
The upshot of this is: I am currently responding to this thread using Puppy Linux on my laptop using the IPW2200BG wireless card.
So, I'm up and running. I may revisit DSL at some point in the future, but right now I'm a very happy puppian!
Thanks for the help, guys!
