[wellylug] wellylug Digest, Vol 39, Issue 15

[marchetti]

Thanks for that, Stephen. As a Linux newbie, late last year
I was fortunate enough to have my wireless router set up for
me by a work colleague, with a passphrase that did not break
the Eee's "protocols". If I'd been capable of setting up the
router, I'd have fallen into the trap. Cheers
