[Wlug] Getting the Edimax ew-7108pcg working on Xubuntu 6.06 LTS

[Adam Keck]

Hello Keith,

Thanks very much for your thoughtful response ;).

Regarding the sudo command, she uses this laptop for her academics
and, thus, expects it to "just work."  Xubuntu has been good at this
thus far, so I was hoping more of the same.  The better Linux does at
"just working," the easier it is for me to keep Microsoft out of the
house.
