Re: asus eee distributionn

Well.... My wifi experiences have been less than
seemless for any router/ap/computer that I have tried
ever. I 'upgraded' an smc setup a year and a half ago
because it wouldn't work with my new laptop. The new
linksys router (with 64bit wep)is junk and it barely
worked with the pre-eeepc laptops. The eeepc will
connect to it, but it is painfully slow. I am
currently of the opinion that routers are the cause of
most wifi issues, not the computers connecting to
them.

Thats my 2bits.

The reason that every major university maintains a department of mathematics is that it's cheaper than institutionalizing all those people.
