[TriLUG] Is My Wireless Card Bad?

[David McDowell]

Randall, glad to hear that helped!  Thanks for the heads up on the
possible note error.  I took those notes straight from my IRC chat
with Daniel, but ya, something could be outta place still b/c I didn't
verify the process after having just done it.  Since I don't have my
Ubuntu install running anymore, I can't look around at it either.  If
anyone else has Ubuntu with ipw2200 and goes through these steps and
finds error, please send me a correction.  :)

thanks!
David McD
