Well, here's my problem. As long as I got this Netbook from my neighbour I wanna make it into an access point so I can go to the WFC with my DS.
I've read there are special drivers but only for Ubuntu shit.

So I wanted to ask if you know how I can do that under Windows XP Home.

    ThinkPads are cheap btw

    eBay is full of them and as long as they don't have Computrace enabled (computer tracking stuff)
    they are great

    The ones that are parts and/or not working are from what I can see.

    companies use them for three years or so
    before they are dumped on the market

    nah you can find lots of working ones if you look carefully

    but it depends on the gen

    T480 for example is from 2018 and is common nowadays

    I could prob look on a car boot to find any that is cheap.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    I doubt it but who knows.
