In a fit of masochism I have decided to try and put WLAN on the SUSE box. I am updating from the family's brand new Windows machine, so you can tell that the whole enterprise has failed miserably

I have to say this for commercial software: it's easy. de cajon as we'd say in the Philippines--all in one box. No such headaches.
Linux has the advantages of efficiency, stability, cheapness and cheapness...but it also seems to require a willingness to learn new things.
My next laptop will probably be commercial--Mac Powerbook, if I can afford it--but in my present situation, mend-and-make-do is all I can afford for my own personal computer(s). Linux made an otherwise-unuseable machine functional for me...and if I can get it to run this wireless LAN, that box will have about 90 percent of what I need.
All I want is some decent vendor support for Linux. Drivers. I want drivers.
