Running Ubuntu 9.04 on an IBM ThinkCentre M51
I’ve been running Ubuntu 9.04 on an IBM ThinkCentre M51 I picked up from MicroCenter for $150 for a little over 2 weeks now.
Almost flawless… I have a Belkin wireless card installed in the box, which as the Atheros chipset, which results in a lost wirelss connection after a few hours of use.
Ubuntu 9.04 identified the card, lauched a restricted driver dialogue. After downloading and activating the MadWiFi driver, everything’s running smoothly. It’s been over a week now and the system hasn’t lost its WiFi connection.
