Idiots guide to WiFi?

Posted by gnik on Monday, 22. March 2010 at 13:58 Bali Time:

I have a laptop or two.

At the risk of sounding like a luddite, how do you use the free WiFi services that abound? Do you need an external modum to receive / transmit? Or do you just tweak a config setting?

How does it work please?
