Hi,

I think you could use your windows drivers (should be included on the CD if you browse it) an ndiswrapper (just run synaptic and search for it, it should be there).
Then open a command line, type 'ndiswrapper' or 'sudo ndiswrapper' to get the possible commands, then install the driver using 'sudo ndiswrapper -i (. inf filename)' Replacing .inf filename by the name of the *.inf file (or its path) you found on the cd. Run then 'sudo ndiswrapper -m' (haven't figured out what that does, but it works... :-D
then run 'sudo modprobe ndiwrapper' and use iwconfig or anything you like to configure the connection

it asks for a password?? What do i put

ok fixed password problem but it now says command not found??

Have you installed ndiswrapper?
If no, in command line, type 'sudo aptitude search ndiswrapper'
You should get 'ndiswrapper-1.xx' where xx is the version number, if you get something else, change accordingly in the next step.
Then type 'sudo apt-get install ndiswrapper-1.xx' replacing xx by the correct numbers, or change the name.

Then 'suso ndiswrapper' should work.

it says: v ndiswrapper-modules-1.8

OK, then you need to type this command befor using ndiswrapper :
'sudo apt-get install ndiswrapper-modules-1.8'

it says it is the newest version?? forgot to say have no net connection on linux pc. am on windows laptop to go on net. should have said earlier. sorry.

It is not the newest version, but that shouldn't be a big issue, anyway, like this it's much easier : otherwise it's only available from source and you would have to compileit from source, and for that you would have to install compilers, and I don't know which ones.

Here is a tutorial on how to install your card or to compile ndiswrapper from source; give it a shot.
http://ndiswrapper.sourceforge.net/m...dex.php/Ubuntu

will it work just it not a card its a usb adapter

it says command not found ndiswrapper

That might be because ndiswrapper is only accessible from root.

Try typing 'sudo ndiswrapper'. If it works then, you can install the drivers, using 'sudo ndiswrapper -i (*.inf file path)' Replacing (*.inf file path) by the path of the windows driver (.inf file), if it doesn't, post back. Every command you'll have to do in order to configure ndiswrapper or the connection may need to be run as root, thus by the 'sudo' command in front. Post back if you need any help.

Good luck

I did that but it installs but then says somthing like cannot copy line 123 ?? cant remember exactly just im on holiday and comps back home.

I'm not sure, but I think I got the same error when I was trying to copy the wrong file (non-existing). Don't forget, the linux command line is case sensitive, and you must include the extension at the end (.inf in this case)

kk i'll not be able to do it again for 2 weeks as in cyprus. but i'll post back when home or if i can on hotel computer. thanx
