My first foray into the world of higher end graphics card has started off miserably. Infact my wireless card (linksys wmp54g) doesn't even work. I'm an optimistic kind of guy but after spending £100 on a graphics card I'm rather disappointed. I'm sure people are trying hard and my complements go to them, I just wished my optimism around the latest distro would have been well founded, I guess not. If anyone can help me find a way round, that would be appreciated.
