    Hi,
    Can anyone point me in the direction of the Drivers for Linux, I think it's only the WLAN driver I need as I can't get on the net.

    Thanks
    Colin

    P.S. do you think it's better to run XP? I have the 120GB version.

    If you're looking for the madwifi driver code, try http://madwifi.org/. The latest Fedora and Ubuntu releases, Like Mandriva, include the ath5k driver in their kernel packages. At one time the ath5k driver would not work on the AA1, but that problem has been long-resolved.

    P.S. My AA1 came with WinXP, so I keep it around, but thee only time I use it is if I need to access a poorly-coded website that will only work with IE.
