Quote:the easiest way is to use a program known as ndiswrapper, this program allows you to use the windows drivers which came with your card in linux. ndiswrapper can be found on the cd/dvd you used to install your distro, you will also need to install the kernel-sources package and the wireless-tools package. Then in the command line do the following after copying the windows drivers to you home directory:Code:

 

Code:

su -
<enter root pass>
cd ~/drivers
ndiswrapper -i name_of_driver.inf
ndiswrapper -l <------- check to see if installed
ndiswrapper -m modprobe ndiswrapper <----------- save settings on reboot

<div>


 

 

now launch your distro's hardware/network config tool and enter ndiswrapper as the driver for the wireless card. Then configure it as normal i.e. add the essid, wep key, ip address etc.
