/snip/ I like the idea of fixing my problem with an external adapter that is supported by free software. Also, the attraction of getting an adapter that supports USB 3.0 and the newer WiFi specifications/modes is attractive. I'm not opposed to spending the money, I just like to be frugal and get the most value for what I spend. Thanks again, Tim
I don't know why you'd spend anything extra for USB3--your old Dell doesn't support that, and if you get a new laptop, the wifi will be built-in and working. The little $6 adapter that I mentioned earlier worked fine with PCLinuxOS for the short distance that it worked over. It "just worked." --doug
