Help w/ wireless on Dell Latitude D520

[Larry Hartman]

After I showed/told some geeky friends of mine about Linux I made the remark 
that it isn't for the faint of heart.  Yes, there are some bells and whistles 
that that other OS offers to tempt the casual user back, then I think to 
myself, do I really want to give that company more of my hard earned money 
for licenses (after all I gave them thousands already over the years, what a 
racket)....nah, so ends my thoughts.  I'd rather troubleshoot and learn 
something new in the process--just have to make sure my data stays on a 
secondary drive.
