One thing you could try is to use a ENCORE ENUWI-G2 USB Wifi adapter (like $15); it uses the same RTL8187b chipset as the internal wifi. On our initial test machine it had much better range than the internal wifi (I'll check the wiring to see if that's why now that I know about that issue). -- Daniel JB Clark | Sys Admin, Free Software Foundation pobox.com/~dclark | http://www.fsf.org/about/staff#danny
