Although one aggravating thing is that the Mint machine will lose wireless network connectivity all the time. I have to then disable the USB adapter, wait a little bit, turn it back on, wait a little bit and then tell it to connect to the house's WiFi. Not sure where the problem lies. The Windows machine right physically next to it does not have that problem and it is using the same wireless adapter, a D-link thing.


I use cheap $14 Tenda wireless routers and cheap Tenda $9 (retail price) adapters, and I have them on the Windows boxes and even on my old PowerPC Macintosh OS X 10.4.11, I've never seen it lose connectivity. I was trying a version of Linux on a machine through a live CD so I couldn't install the driver for a Tenda, I had to use a wired connection but I did have the driver for it so I suspect I can install either DEBs or RPMs for it once I make the installation permanent. I have sometimes had problems with more expensive equipment and/or adapters, but the damn el cheapo Tenda stuff just plain works. For adapters you install the software and it's there, it works and works reliably. For WiFi the Tenda wireless router works fine wired (or wireless with any brand of wireless adapter).
