Caeda - there is no need to be so harsh, especially to a new member who just signed up today. It really isn't that hard to make your point without being unfriendly. In the future, please just skip the sarcasm.
nixerwannab - Welcome to LQ. The point behind Caeda's reply was simply that in order for people to answer the question, it is important to provide technical details about the equipment you're using. If you can specify the exact card you're using, the distro you're using, and other technical details about your PC, it will enable folks to better answer your question. Similarly, it would be a big help to describe the steps you have taken, the error or system messages that were produced, etc. Good luck with it. -- J.W.
