I was thinking the same thing. I have a lap top that came with a USB
stick wifi. I could not get it to work right but then found that my
computer was getting the router WITHOUT the USB stick plugged in!
Turns out that a few of my laptops came with factory installed wiki
that the former window user did not know about. Are you sure you have
the hardware you think you have?
