[PLUG] Wireless Networking on ThinkPad 600E/Xubuntu-7.04

[Quentin Hartman]

I have a Thinkpad T23 and a Gold card (not sure it's lucent, but probably)
that works fine w/ 7.04. I also have a $15 Fry's house-brand b/g card that
"just works". I've never needed to do any futzing with them on any version
of Ubuntu I've used with them. Under 7.04, the pre-installed network manager
tool for gnome has always just done the trick. With the gold card, I do
sometimes have to insert, remove, re-insert to get it to actually come up.
