my 2 cents on the wireless cards. No they all will not work with
Ubuntu 8.04. I had a D-Link that worked thru the USB port and had no problem
with XP but would not work with Ubuntu at all. I ended up buying a wireless PC
card (sorry not at home and don't remember the name right now), that I installed
in with XP and it works fine with Ubuntu. There is a site that will tell which
ones will work,might work, and will not work (wireless cards). I would suggest
look at some of the old messages on the group and one of them has the URL to the
compatipabilty site that is how I located the one I purchased. Check it out
before you purchase.
