Wifi
Wifi support under Ubuntu Edgy is great. The live CD recognized my Netgear WG511T, and found a non-password-protected wifi network of my neighbor, I changed the SSID and network password to use my own wifi during installation. After installation, my own wifi was ready for use, there is almost nothing left to do.
If you roaming a lot, and has lots of WEP/WAP to setup, this WPAHowTo maybe useful for you.
But I am too lazy, and my laptop is almost used as a desktop, so I installed wifi-radar, just for fun.
sudo apt-get install wifi-radar
Wifi-radar is kind of buggy, and there's no where to find documentation, I am having a hard time to figure out what those icon means. I planned to use it as a wifi browser, but using the command 'sudo iwlist scanning' provides more accurate information. I probably will use network-manager in future.
