There are more reasons to like wireds. Plug the wire in, and it works, 
you're up on the LAN. With wireless, there's usually 3-5 minutes of 
fiddling to get connected. And if it won't connect, you have no idea 
why, so you go cold boot the machine, cold boot the wireless access 
point, hold the antenna up, etc. Phui.

Don't tell me this is fixed, either. I just got a brand new eee pc. Plug 
in the wire, boom, perfection. Use the built in wireless, and fiddle, 
faddle, cold boot, faddle, fiddle, cold boot, fiddle, faddle, ah, now 
it's working. This is in the *AS SHIPPED* configuration, not something I 
downloaded or installed.
