I messed around with ndiswrapper, and could never get it to work properly, but I have to admit that I didn't really try that hard. My entire apartment is wired with Cat6, and since this review was written I have picked up Gig-E switches and NIC's for the server, as well as the laptop. One of the things that I always have running on this machine is my media playback software, which actually runs on the server, via X-11 forwarding, and I think that the reduced latency on a wi-fi connection would irritate me to no end. Gig-E seems to be nice though. It is indeed a Broadcom card, the model of which I am not certain at the moment (it’s been months since I could be compelled to look).
