[CLUE-Tech] Wireless problem

[Tony M.]

dude, please use your wep.  trust me, wifi signals
travel farther then you'd think.  download kwifi or
some other signal strenght program to make sure the
kernal turned the card on correctly.  what kind of
card did you buy.  an actual airport card?  if so see
sourceforge.com for their drivers/faq's.
