John and Bruce helped Ron fix a stubborn networking problem on an acer laptop, where ndiswrapper was interfering with the eth0 lan interface. At a prior workshop we had disabled ndiswrapper, and configured the [ath5k|http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Drivers/ath5k] module which supports the wireless adapter in the laptop. It was Acer Apire 5315 iirc. Bruce figured out that the ndiswrapper package needed to be removed and stomped on a few more times. In the process we learned the "lshw -C network" command is useful for troubleshooting these problems.
John helped Leo with a sed script to strip some html and do some search and replace on a large set of files.
