I'd be interested to see if that netbook could connect to that router
with Linux. ;-)

Doesn't really get anywhere if the O/P wants XP ...


Not really the goal though Andy [1]. It would be to test to see if the
hardware will *still* connect to the VM Hub *now*, indicating that it
is possible and so there may be some mileage in checking say WiFi
drivers (assuming John didn't etc)


I did. It was running the latest edition offered by ASUS for that
machine, but I also tried a later offering from Qualcomm.


Noted. ;-)

p.s. If the OP could put a USB stick in there for you, you could
remotely download and install Linux to it ... and if he could boot
from it and launch Teamviewer (or you could probably get in other
ways), you could see if the WiFi would then function properly. ;-)

I actually *installed* Linux on a laptop for a Freecycler that way.
