[Cialug] [Update] Ubuntu 9.10 roaming mode

[Mathew R. Phillips]

Well my friend installed 9.04 on the netbook and the wireless worked flawlessly on the first boot. And from what you guys said earlier i do think the roaming mode is integrated in now and isn't explicitly set anymore. Although im not crazy i do remember it being there because i had to use it to get connected up here in the dorms at wartburg!
Thanks for the help guys,

Matt

Yes, I saw this too last week. I connected at the hotel, then
suspended and went to the office and it didn't want to connect because
it thought I was still at the hotel. I just had to wait for a min or
suspend and resume. Not sure exactly what worked but it only seemed to
happen for a short time.
