Doing the Linux Happy Dance of Joy

Finally finally finally, after trying on and off for over a week, I am connected to the Internet via WiFi on my laptop, running OpenSuse.

What a bugger to figure out. Turned out I needed the firmware to be in the right file. But first I needed to learn what Firmware was, and how to operate from root.

Anyway, Woo Hoo and do a dance with a 43 year old semi-nerd who just beat the Linux that was beating me.

Sweet Day of Victory.

    Again, after hearing what you just said Randall, and understanding that I too would need to learn what you learned I'm a bit more afraid of trying Linux.

    Ian:

    I had this problem on a church computer last week. What I did was to do a restore of a previous point in time, and the Dvd player/burner came back on, no problem.
