I just got my Centrino wireless card to quasi-work using the Intel ipw2100 drivers for Linux. Now I just need a wireless network to test against. It seems I have to take my Notebook with me to FBI tomorrow.
Shameless plug: If this post was useful to you, please consider buying yourself something from one of my Amazon stores: US store, UK store, FR store, DE store, CA store. If you're not into Amazon, why not donate something to GNOME, Mozilla or Wikipedia? Thank you!
I could offer you my privat Wireless Network ;)
Thanks for your kind offer. We need to schedule an appointment as soon as you got your most important paper. I wish you luck, of course. But you know that…

Luck is the keyword for that exams…
No offence! :wink: Of course I’ll keep my fingers crossed for you as well!
Patrick, I’m going to buy the Asus A636 PDA (incl. WLAN and GPS) to use mainly for car navigation as soon as I found a shop which has it in stock. That means we will not only be prepared for WLAN testing ceremonys of any kind but also for warwalking! :wink:
[...] About a month ago, when I still used Debian, I was in need of a testbed. Today I used the WLAN network of my sailing club. And it works. I just switched on my notebook and it really was like Network Manager promised: It really was painfree networking. Just after bootup, I switched on my WLAN antenna and Network Manager immediately found our WLAN network and asked me if I wanted to connect to it, because I had not connected to the network before. After I accepted, Network Manager configured the network options automatically and connected me to the network. On the next bootup, it didn’t even ask, if I wanted to connect. It just found out, that I still had no hardwired connection and used my clubs network automatically. In short: I got the configuration-comfort of Windows (and it is easier than a default Debian installation in regard of wireless network management) together with the stability of Linux. [...]
