+anyones mother-language.
+
+But still The problem is about Wifi & not being able to set ESSID's & 
+uping the network properly.
+If the card would work properly during ANY boot no matter which iso 
+you're using the problem won't be there anymore.
+
+If I can boot Ubuntu both Live & full-DVD-version & I've got no problem 
+connecting to WiFi this should be an easy task.
+
+Perhaps we could display a message for anyone in the first stage if the 
+card won't work properly & the reason why. Just an idea.
