I've had to use Windows since I got my current computer last March, the reason being that my Linksys wireless card refused to work. However, the linux-wlan-ng guys added support for my exact card a few months back, and I just found out today. I rebooted, and had the new version (0.2.1-pre23) working in about 10 minutes, a few kinks along the way.
I'm freeeeee!
Although, I don't know if I'll be sticking with my curent Slackware 10.0 - I've come to love Ubuntu and Gnome 2.8 a lot via VMWare. We'll have to see. That said, how well does adding Linuxpackages.net mirrors to Swaret work? (for contributed packages)
