Hardy Heron tried and found, not only wanting, but failing miserably.


I downloaded Ubuntu's latest and greatest last night and tried it just about
five minutes ago. The Live CD is now laying on my desk headed for the
trash can. Why? Simple question, simple answer. Even though Hardy Heron
recognized my wireless card (D-Link DWA 552) the wonderful and wise
developers at Ubuntu failed to either include the Atheros driver for it
(yes, it is available) OR an "ndiswrapper" application. Some "true
believer" may say, "Oh, its on the CD." Okay, so what Mensa candidate did
not load it in the tools menu and by what arcane method is one to know its
on the CD?

Folks, what is so hard about providing full internet connectivity and why do
so many distros not do it.

I'll agree that sometimes Linux does take a little effort to get
things working the way you want, but that comes with the history of
being built by people with a serious computer background. The good
thing is Linux is attracting programmers who are interested in making
things easier for us "Joe Average" users and who will work on these
problems until they are fixed; unlike M$ wizards who will keep fixing
things until they break.

If you can't put forth a little effort without the whining and
sniveling please stay out of this group and go back to windoze.
