Finally got the wireless card working

[minendo]

Some time ago CorporateRecreation installed debian on my laptop (thanks much Drew), but we could not figure out the wireless card. Well after four hours of work today, I got it working. I am sitting on campus now posting from one of the lecture halls.

I just helped my buddy set his wireless setup up and I was surprised how much of a pain in the ass it was......

Setting it up with a tablet PC we have was a pain too... I found it much easier on the standard XP

Really? The tablet I set up for Purdue Airlink was simple.

Ya, I'm sure Linux would suck even worse....
The link light was apparently broke on one of the access points, kinda threw us off.... Two different brands and the first time one of the AP's didnt work, had to return it.
