Thanks for the response ....
So you are suggesting that using an ethernet card w/ wireless reciever (like
the Asus WL-330) to access my wireless router is the way to go when using
Linux, I presume. I was hoping I wouldn't have to enter a bunch of cryptic
command lines that I'd have to search for first to get it to work. I'm not
interested in programming and started out on a mac back in '86. I guess I'm
looking for the most painless way of doing this too ... You know where all
the testing and has already been done for me. ... I'm more interested in
working and being creative with a new less monopolistic tool than being too
involved in its development. For that reason I'm still not sure Linux will
be something for me. For example .... I couldn't really get into PC's until
windows came into the picture. We'll see. I'm still completely new with
Linux and haven't really done any real work with it yet ... Just managed to
fart around a bit with it trying to learn some of the basic commands.
Regardless thanks for your input and anything else you have to say on the
subject.
