Re: [ubuntu-uk] Nintendo Wifi USB Connector (Ralink rt2500) woes

2011-01-13 Thread daveg
me update of Ubuntu - 10.10 but I'm guessing it may be. It may be worth a shot disabling the current network manager and trying wicd insead. I have just found it more accepting to various networks, connectors and routers. You dont have a lot to lose by trying.
