WiFi under Linux - it just works!
,----[ Quote ]
| Sure, you will say, if you pick and choose only the most common hardware then
| it is no surprise that it works even under Linux.
|
| Well, firstly, hardware support under Linux is constantly getting better and
| more reliable anyway. For example, I didn't choose the Intel graphics card,
| but the Nvidia option instead. With Ubuntu's restricted-devices manager, I
| had the 3D driver for that Nvidia card installed and working literally in
| seconds, and also without having to use the command line.

| For years, Linux has had a reputation of being notoriously bad for
| wireless access, whether through access points, ad-hoc, whatever.
| But the new KWirelessNetwork applet thats included in the new
| Kubuntu beta is just incredible.

WPA wireless "just works" in Ubuntu 7.04

| Windows XP is normally thought to have great support for wireless
| networks. This is true for some networks, but many secure
| wireless networks require the user to perform multiple complex
| steps to configure the correct security and authentication
| settings. To see what I mean, just look at these instructions
| to connect to various University wireless networks.
|
| On the other hand, the Mac OS X interface looks very similar
| to Ubuntu 7.04. Just like Ubuntu, it will allow you to
| painlessly connect to secure wireless networks.
