[TriLUG] Wireless Broadband and Linux, anyone doing it?

[J.C. Jones]

Kevin,

Are you located in a strong verizon signal area. I do fair with Fedora 
Core 5 near Cary, but I live in Wendell. Very little signal strength at 
home, but it is still better than dialup.

My setup was mainly through the network gui . Still works. I usually use 
it at the Trilug meetings until the wireless router arrives and is up 
and running.
