I followed the development of the rt2400/802.11b wireless drivers for a
couple of years.  Last I heard the drivers for the RaLink RT2400 did not
work with the SMP version of any kernel and only worked with the UNI
version of the kernel. Gutsy installs the SMP version of the kernel with
no facility I can find to replace it with the uni kernel without
connecting to the Net.....so I was screwed and had to get rid of Gutsy.

Xandros 4.0 includes/d both SMP and UNI versions of the kernel and one
could switch between the two without having to download anything.

I'd rather get a good 802.11g wireless card that works well with
Linux......but I have had to resort increasingly to Windows both for
wireless networking and for video capture and processing. Having been on
Linux exclusively for the past 6 years, moving back to Windows has been
a disappointment. I just don't have time to frig around with Linux any
more. ...and this issue is just one more example.
