The BUG system, which I discussed last Tuesday, will go on sale Monday at the BUG Labs store. It won't be exactly what was previously announced, however. In an email, a company spokesman explained the change of plans: This (the picture at the top left) is the BUGbase "Hiro P" model.

It’s what the first batch of BUGbase units will look like, and is much like the BUGbase we’ve been promoting, only with a minor aesthetic change to the front panel and no onboard 802.11 wi-fi. Why no wi-fi? The issue extends from developing a set of open source wi-fi drivers, and we had to make a decision on our first production run – either ship early with no wi-fi, or delay the ship date until the driver issue was resolved. However, to compensate the Hiro P customers, we will be offering them a BUGwifi module *at cost*, and we will also be giving them a *free* BUGvonhippel module. Additionally, we will be extending the early adopter program to the new batch of wireless-enabled BUGbases. More about this can be read in the announcement we just issued on BUGblogger: https://www.bugblogger.com/2008/01/what-about-wifi.html The wi-fi driver issue sounds similar to the one I encountered when I reviewed the Mandriva Flash 2008 in December. To get wi-fi working on that system, I had to download a small firmware file directly from Broadcom. Software Development
