The OKI printer is not really a laser, it is a LED printer. regards Henrik -- The address in the header is only to prevent spam.

So far as toner is concerned, that's a detail that doesn't matter. It doesn't affect either his point (that a cloud of toner was emitted by the printer) or mine (that something was seriously wrong with that printer). -- As we enjoy great advantages from the inventions of others, we should be glad of an opportunity to serve others by any invention of ours; and this we should do freely and generously.

It never worked with the Broadcom WiFi in my (recently stolen) notebook; I ended up using USB and CardBus WiFi devices with that machine until the b43 driver (and its predecessor?) got to a usable state. This past weekend, I picked up a Netgear WNDA3100 for one of my MythTV frontends...didn't know at the time that there were two hardware versions for this, an older one with an Atheros chip that uses the ar9170usb driver and a newer one with a Broadcom chip that (again) is unsupported at this time. I'm not even going to bother with ndiswrapper this time; it's going back to Fry's to be replaced with something that will work (think they had a suitable revision of the D-Link DWA160 for $10 more; it's supported by the ar9170usb driver). _/_ / v \ Scott Alfter (remove the obvious to send mail) (IIGS( http://alfter.us/ Top-posting! \_^_/ rm -rf /bin/laden >What's the most annoying thing on Usenet? --- news://freenews.netfront.net/ - complaints: news(a)netfront.net ---

If there happens to be some design aspect that suggests a probability of uncleanliness, I'd like to know what it might be so I'll know what to avoid. |
