Hi.
Looking to migrate my elderly laptop from Xp to Ubuntu.
One of the clinchers before I move forward is the availability of driver(s) for the above (hooks up to Wanadoo Livebox. Yeh, I know...).
Not been able to track anything down via google so far.
New to this Linux lark too, but still have (mostly good, if rusty) memories of 'real' computing from the C:\ days.
All help and advice greatly appreciated (please skip the "ditch the livebox" stuff...)
Ta.
Update.
Ran a LiveCD of Hardy Heron and managed to set up the wireless connection (eventually) by entering all the network info manually. Lost it after a short while, which I'm putting down to running the LiveCD, as opposed to a 'proper' install.
Which, I guess, is the next step. When I find the time, that is.
