WPA
WEP worked (although I had to set my AP to broadcast it's SSID), WPA wouldn't work at all. I'd rather have the security, so I went back to XP.

And I definetly put the work in. I'm a techie, and I love tinkering with systems (which is why I put on Linux in the first place).

ABM'er or not, one thing you have to give Microsoft is that the things you have to 'work at a bit' is Linux are automatic in Windows. Which one will Joe User choose?
