I has new WiFi

In a previous post, I wrote about my resurrected laptop (the ancient dino) that has the old 802.11b wireless (Intel PRO/Wireless 2100). Now I have received my new Intel PRO/Wireless 2200 BG and I am now enjoying 802.11G speeds.

The tear down and replacement wasn't overly hard. Ubuntu once again made the driver issue relatively painless (the ipw2200 drivers were immediately seamlessly installed).

Next would hopefully be a probable modest update in processor (if I can find a cheap Banias core CPU that is).
