Hi, ive only ever used mandrake before and failed at getting the internet to work with that using my 56k modem. how however ive got broadband but i use a wireless pci card to access it. anyone know how to get it working with any form of linux. Im downloading gentoo at the moment, and have debian. It is a WMP54G linksys wireless pci card.
a google for 'linux wmp54g' brought this up http://www.linux-sec.net/Wireless/Install-HOWTO/LinkSys.WMP54G/HowTo.DOCS/wl.HOWTO.txt it has instructions and the directory it's in has drivers. no idea what kernel it's for, but it's a start. the other thing i saw when i was googling is something refering to the ndiswrapper driver. your best bet is to look through your make menuconfig under wireless network adapters and see what it has. since it's a pci card you shouldn't have any problem yanking it momentarily to see what chip it has on it, try googling for that, too. hope that helps.
thanks, yer ive seen that ndis wrapper, and seen people try to use it with this card but were unsucessful. other thing i saw was http://www.linuxant.com/ you have to pay for that thou . and this is linux were using, which is free...
