The machine is under warranty, but I will be moving around for the next two months and it will not be repaired until April. In the interim, I am thinking about acquiring a USB wi-fi device. If you are using such a device and it works out-of-the-box on Linux, please send me the make and model. If this model comes with different chips, please tell me what I need. Larry
