Hi,
a word of warning for those of you using Ubuntu on a
NetBook: the new release 10.04, due this friday, has
a bug related to WLAN and WPA/WPA2, for RT2860 chips
as used in many Netbooks (such as the EEE 1000H).
While it can connect to unencrypted or WEP "encrypted"
WLANs, it is unable to connect to WPA/WPA2 APs.
It is fixed in a newer kernel release, but probably
won't be available for the launch of the new version.
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/496093?comments=all
If you don't need such access, fine, but if you do,
and want to upgrade, you'll need to use a different
kernel (to be installed via other type of connectivity)
to have things working. The alternative is to delay the
upgrade until the fix is in the standard repositories.
Ah, the joys of beta-testing...
Eric
P.S. Launch party friday evening at the hackerspace:

Hi
A freiend of mine has Kubuntu 9.10 installed. He wants to have access to his
Fritz!Box by WLAN. Which card is well supported under Linux with WPA/WPA2
Support and an oss driver? USB or PCI perhaps with an external Antenna.
Thanks

* Weekly and monthly communication with the Executive Director and
quarterly reports regarding the Sysadmin Team's work to the GNOME

maintaining production servers is mandatory.
