I am using a Belkin USB WiFi adaptor on an elderly Toshiba laptop running Intrepid and it worked first time; plug and play. Get your brother to give it a try. I am also a recent convert from Windoze so I understand his caution after past experience of the fuss that XP makes over some straight forward jobs. Have faith.
