Lawrie I also have to disagree. I went to the local WiFi spot. I took the Ubuntu 9.1 CD and did an install. I rebooted and by the time the desktop was visible my network card had already picked up the WiFi signal. I clicked on connect and I was on. This is a Belkin PCMCIA card. Try that with Windose. I clicked on the update manager and it did all of the updates. Turned off and went home. Plugged in the USB dialup modem, configured the dialer and done.
