Maybe. I would be perfectly happy for me to be the one at fault and
not the OS, it wouldn't be the first time that's for sure. But having
tried so many cards, with complete _new_ installs on 2 generic pcs, I
can't see how it could be. I work full time in IT so I dont consider
myself a noob. Could you suggest anything i may be doing wrong? Even a
how-to from Ubuntu for setting up wireless in general on Dapper would
be helpful..
