Fun on my lap

Remember a while back I put Mandrake Linux on the laptop?

Well, I did. Today I found we have a wireless ethernet card for it, so I plugged it in, and after fiddling with the settings for a while, I have an online Linux laptop. Hooray.

Turns out it comes with an msn client call Kopete. It doesn't look at all like msn, or even like Trillian, but it seems to work, despite its dumb name.

I seem to be having trouble getting web pages to load now. I don't know if something's just not set up right, or if there's a major problem with my router. More details as they come.
