Star Where Linux 802.11x Support Needs Work
Linked by Eugenia Loli-Queru on Sat 22nd Oct 2005 19:30 UTC
Linux This is a comprehensive list of where Linux wireless support currently falls a bit short. This list of problems that should get fixed in Linux wireless grew out of Dan Williams' attempt to put a GUI on top of Linux wireless with NetworkManager.

That other guy who flamed you.........

Anyways.... What video card are you currently using?

If it wasn't for DRI drivers I'd have gotten a new nVidia card years ago.(though I don't have a laptop)

You do know that there are experimental r300 drivers for DRI in the works, right?

It's an xpress 200, ATI claims to support it and it kinda sorta works if you hack your system enough and break 9/10ths of everything else on it.

They need to spend some real R&D on it.

To the loser that flamed me, I bought it because ATI said it was supported. How in the hell is that MY fault?

I'd start looking for a distro which has the RC of xorg 6.9/7.0. Or just build it and test it independently. DRI actually makes some pretty decent drivers.
