Ahhhh... back to the forums. I've been gone for a while, but I'm back now and I hope to maintain this thread with a little more consistency.
I'm currently running Kanotix 2005-3 on my ZE4560us and it's working great. I have been getting into wifi security a lot lately though, so the built-in Broadcom chipset wireless card is getting on my nerves. I'd rather not have to plug in some external card, so I'm thinking about changing out my internal. They're available on eBay.
I'm specifically looking at the Prism 2.5 and Prism GT chipsets. Both have 802.11g capabilities as well as WEP, WPA, and 802.1x encryption abilities. They're quite cheap, and even cheaper if you buy them in bulk. I'm thinking about buying a batch of them. Would anyone else be interested in getting a group together for purchasing a set of these?
Single unit price is $22 and shipping is $8. If we buy in bulk, I can get 3 of them for $59 and the shipping charge is the same. Yea, not much difference, but I thought it would be worth it to post it anyway.
I'm also going to look into how difficult it is to replace the mini-PCI card inside the laptop this evening. I'm pretty sure it's just a panel on the bottom of the computer that can be un-screwed, but I'm going to find out for sure tonight.
Updates later.
