Mandriva 2006 and Wifi: No Luck yet

All linux distributions appear to be weak in WiFi connectivity. Actually this is not a function of the distributions as much as the WiFi drivers available for the cards.

One complicating factor is that the drivers are specific to the types of integrated circuits (ICs) on a WiFi card. Manufactures can change an IC and still call the card by the same name.

So far no luck with the WiFi connection using the AWLH5025 card.

BTW for those who need an source of linix distributions that are inexpensive take a look at:
