It was already a pain to have the nic (intel 1000-something) properly installed. -- Groeten uit Gent, Kris ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- **= Email 4 ==========================** Date: Mon, 26 Apr 2004 11:24:40 +1000 From: Ed Durrant Subject: Re: ot: wlan hotspots ?
