How can i set up the wireless internet while running linux?
Freespire linux or Ubuntu, havent decided which Linux yet.
I have a toshiba laptop and i want to install linux and use wireless internet?
well i had an acer travelmate 4600 ubunto didnt work in it i mean if drivers for wireless networking are not found in linux they will be hard to be found on the net.
but if you still want linux,i would prefer you to but redhats latest version
Reply:First see what wireless LAN drvers are avialable for a distribution. I use Mandriva Linux in which the drivers are pre packaged.
Reply:Download Ubuntu (7.04 just came out), burn the iso to disk and boot it up in your laptop. It doesn't install but will run as a LiveCD. Test the wireless under this method. If it doesn't work then just reboot, removing the LiveCD and you will be back in Windows. No harm no foul. If you find you can get the wireless working, (and there is new wireless managing software in this release) all you need to is click on the "Install Ubuntu" icon on the desktop and away you go. Have fun!
