Aros on laptops

Glad to hear you're liking what you see TheMagicM. :-)

Would like to advise you purchase a supported wireless dongle, if you want an even better experience. These are known to work and cost less than $15 USD:

Before he buys a new wireless card he might want to test the atheros driver since the T42 came with 6 different wireless cards.

I'll try it out and reply back.


One error I did find in the install was when I selected for it to create a "Work" volume/partition.  It didnt and asked me to insert Work volume.  I figured it would partition/create it automatically if it didnt exist.   Reinstalling now without a "Work" volume.

It may have something to do with this if you downloaded it before it was patched.

You mentioned something about trying wireless drivers.. how would I go about doing that?

Look in Prefs: Network change the device to the atheros driver then goto the wireless tab and change accordingly.  I would be more detailed but I don't have my box in front of me.
