Well don't stop there. Explain what link-local IP discovery is? I

link-local is where the computer fails to find a dhcp provided ip address,
so it chooses one in the 169.X.X.X range. It is meant to be a way for
networking to work without a central server handing out addresses. I have
never seen it work properly, either.

Now that is a really stupid thing to do!

Yes and that is really hard to do isn't it. Poor boy.

Gosh a password too? What kind of WiFi are you stealing? Maybe this
is the whole problem. If you had just loaded Hardy and rebooted and did
the little easy things and then let it just sit turned on for 30
minutes, it might have just started working. Mine did.

Can we remove Larsen from this list, already?
