>I tried that, and both OS's run very very slow. What's involved in using the b43 drivers? I'm not sure what you mean - can you provide more detail? Before getting to the wireless network part, I need to understand what is slow. For this - can you just use a normal wired connection? Assuming you are running a Linux host: Is the host slow? Is it the Win client that is slow? Is it the Linux client that is slow? Thanks, Ken
