I am trying to use a Wifi adapter on an IBM Thinkpad.<br><br>In the Ubuntu Documentation, at the following web location:<br><br><a href="https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HardwareSupportComponentsWirelessNetworkCardsAirlink101" target="_blank">https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HardwareSupportComponentsWirelessNetworkCardsAirlink101</a><br>
<br>there is a list of Wifi cards (by Manufacture), that have been tested to work with Ubuntu.<br><br>Please note that there is a grid detailing various categories of installation <br>procedures required. One of the headings of the grid is entitled "Supported In Installed System." I don't understand what "Supported In Installed System" means. Apparently there is some sort of "installation" that it is referring to, but I don't know what.<br>
<br>Could you kindly explain what procedures and/or installations are required to use a Wifi card that is identified as being able to work under that category.<br><br>Thank you,<br>Evan

For example, when a card works "out of the box" that means you can use it on the LiveCD, however, when it doesn't but *is* supported in an installed system, you might be required to perform some manual procedures to get it to work (which might, for example, involve rebooting which would mean you wouldn't be able to do this while running in a LiveCD environment considering you'd lose your configuration).<br clear="all">
