Connecting to the internet
I recently loaded the latest version of Ubuntu on my old Tecra Laptop that my wife uses every nite to play MSN games on. It had Win XP Pro on it and, being almost 4 years old I imagine the registry had accumulated much junk and it was intermittently not connecting wirelessly to the internet of late. I decided to reload windoz with the backup recovery discs I had made when it was new. Got almost to the end and the last disc must have been corrupt so it wouldn't load. I decided to load up Ubuntu 9.04. Wow, what a fast troublefree installation. Everything just works, period! We do have a small problem though. When connecting to our wireless router we have to type in the router PW every time we connect. Is there some way to configure it so that it will just connect whenever we turn the wireless switch on, without having to always type in a PW?
