For a second there you made me think that my emails are being handled wrongly because you seem to start new threads alot. I would also suggest that you search this list for previous responses because most likely someone has had the same query sometime in the past and someone on the list might have tried to help. http://lists.debian.org/users.html On 6/10/2010 8:34 AM, ABSDoug wrote: > --- On Tue, 6/8/10, Hugo Vanwoerkom <hvw59601(a)care2.com> wrote: > >> Now wireless does'nt seem to work out of the box so you >> need to: > <<<snip>>> > > Worked great, thank YOU so much!
