It turns out, though, that I *will* buy a USB WiFi device for $7 and use it. Trendnet TEW 424UB, which in my case contains a Realtek 8189. (They have used other chips at other times.) Johnny Cuervo has an unofficial but effective driver for it, and a Mr. Leung has sent in a patch to update that driver for 2.6.24. It works. If anyone else has a Realtek 8187-9, the driver is here: http://www.datanorth.net/~cuervo/rtl8187b/ So I have to carry another stupid USB device everywhere, but the cost was minimal. Maybe someday b43 will support the built-in WiFi. -- Carl Fink [EMAIL PROTECTED] Read my blog at blog.nitpicking.com. Reviews! Observations!
