This is about my 2 day struggle to get 2 totally different wireless netgear cards to work in my compaq laptop.I had Ubuntu 6.10 in this laptop before and my netgear MA521 worked like a charm ,right out of the box.Well I loved this linux openerating system so much i figured i would try version 7.04 “Fiesty” , Little did i know that they used a different kernel for 7.04 and now my wireless nightmare began.I tryed to install ndiswrapper in 7.04 with my netgear MA521 and also my Netgear wpnt511 Rangemax and had no luck making either work this way. I have used ndiswrapper before with a Netgear WG511 on ubuntu 6.10 with great success.Im not sure what they did exactly to “Fiesty” but i finally decided to downgrade back to the trusty version 6.10 since it works. Just so everyone know i also tryed this with xubuntu 7.04 with no luck at all, but i did like the colors of that os alittle better.Well this is my computer rant for today ,check back for more soon.

John, John. OK, dude, behind the sensitive rock star/guitar god front, we know you’re a not-so-secret Mac geek. Sure, you jammed out to Message In A Bottle with the Police at Live Earth, but wasn’t it just as big a thrill to be onstage for a legendary Stevenote? Wasn’t it good, John? Good enough for you?

I’ve been getting comments from several customers like who have submitted their orders and have not received a response. Wanted to clarify how the process works, and the easiest way to illustrate it is to break it down into two main groups: Customers who purchase something, and customers who don’t. Basically, if no purchase is involved, you will receive an e-mail notification when your order is processed. If you are purchasing something, Dell will be contacting you directly to process work out payment details to process your order.

Update, 8/13:  The link for the XPS 700 Exchange Program is now live:

We’re just a few days away from the XPS 700 Motherboard Exchange program. I’ve been getting lots of e-mails and comments from XPS 700 and 710 customers. I’m sorry for the delay in getting details out to you. Beyond this blog entry, I’m hoping to have another one that will give you an idea of what to expect before next week. I’ll try to answer more questions then.
