I'm running a Linksys 4400N.  Cabled systems work fine, but I cannot
test wireless, since wireless (for me) under Ubuntu has been a total
washout... My laptop (Dell8600/IPW2100) just won't connect, and never
has under either Breezy or Dapper.  The reasoning is because I have a
static IP on my laptop, which apparently in Linux is a no-no...
