RE:
1. wifi connection to resortwifi (Stephen Montgomery-Smith)
Try to do a Sysinstall as root in a console or xterm and reconfigure your
netconfiguration in this case your nic ndis or something like this, it's
what is named a postconfigure, other hint maybe I should not say it try
Ubuntu Live CD a.k.a. Dapper or Freesbie 2.0 in the last option probably you
need to do the postconfigure too :) Ximo
