Nice. I just got Feisty on my new laptop and I love it. Especially the wireless setup. :-)!

I was trying to evalaute Xandros on an HP laptop for a client. After many, many hours I gave up. Everything I tried - including ndis wrapper generated nothing but frustration. For example, Xandros hides the compile functionality. Ndiswrapper requires compiling.

I blew away the Xandros partition and installed ubuntu 7.04.

While futzing around to see what was required to get wireless working, I noticed a new icon in the status bar - the one with the "bars"....

Ubuntu set up wireless for me with no effort on my part. And ---- the connection is more stable under Ubuntu than it is under Windows --on the same laptop!

Now that rocks!

Note to client: forget Xandros. Use Ubuntu.

I agree completely. Ubuntu is a breeze to set up wirelessly. I work in the ITS department at my university and we just upgraded to a more secure wireless network. In training they went through the 19 steps we needed to go through to connect with Vista and then proceeded to show us the 3 steps we needed to connect with Ubuntu.

Needless to say I was a little disappointed when I didn't run into any Ubuntu machines on Freshman Move-In Day.
