[Bug 1] Ubuntu Bug #1 - Wireless Internet in Rambam hospital in Haifa, part 1

[Amir E. Aharoni]

I have a Toshiba Tecra laptop with Vista and Ubuntu Feisty. My wife
urgently needed to connect to the Internet a few days ago, so she went
to the Rambam hospital in Haifa, which has free access points. She's not
an avid GNU/Linux user like i am, so she tried to connect with Vista and
it didn't work. She tried calling the local tech support, who tried to
help her, but gave up and said that she should have installed XP. She
was badly frustrated and then i had a crazy idea - why not try it with
Ubuntu? I rebooted, turned on the Intel wireless card in restricted
drivers drivers manager and the network worked PERFECTLY. (Later she had
trouble using an IE-only website, but that's a different story.)

So there - Linux, despite its troublesome history in wireless support
won over Vista quite easily in this case! Keep it in mind when you see
someone struggling with WiFi in Windows.

Watch this space for part 2 of the story ...
