wandering wifi options

[Victor Mendonça]

The speed is not bad, as long as you are not planning on using it for downloads. It's perfect for basic activities, like emails and browsing. And the fact that it's so portable makes it even better.

Hi Ralph,

During the launch of Jaunty, Victor had a Rocket stick from Rogers.
And we had it working on both our Aspire One with the Jaunty Remix 9.04.
Victor loaded his Remix from a USB stick with the RocketStick installed, 
mine was loaded and I just plugged it in.
Not a single issue with it.

So you should have no problems.
