[buug] Attn John from Thurs. meeting

Congrats on your new Asus netbook. Regarding connecting our two
netbooks directly via our wifi chips (which we couldn't figure out on
the fly):

I've been researching the matter, it's called "unmanaged" or "ad hoc"
networking. I posed my question on an ubuntu forum:

The first reply provided a link to a page that may answer our
question. The link is:

But I can't test it out, as I don't have a second laptop handy.
Another poster remarked "Create ad hoc network.You can do that easily
at fedora 10 with network manager BUT at ubuntu creating ad hoc from
gnome network manager or wicd does not work from my experience."

But I seriously question that. Ubuntu/gnome is still Linux, and I'm
sure you can create an ad-hoc network via the terminal. If you go to
that thread I posted in the ubuntu forum, you'll see my comment,
