Dear reader,
To be brief; I am dutch so my English will be poor sometimes, in addition I am a complete newb in Linux
altough I have used it before.
My problem might be complicateed too...
Well okay, here's the story..
I bought a packard bell notebook (easynote) wich contains a RT2500 Ralink wireless lan card.
After some trouble getting my monitor to work I wanted
to configure the wlan card that didn't do anything..
When I checked the config panel in KDE, Linux recognized the hardware, but didn't show parameters.
In the section of wireless networks there can't be found anything too... I have checked the button in the system tray that shows 2 disconnected plugs and try to connect...
I didn't know what to do..
After some searching I found out that this is a more common problem, however, more experienced users solved their problems by downloading drivers and compiling them and installing etcetera..
That went a little fast for me..
How can I get everything to work, to let Linux search for wireless networks and all?
Can somebody explain me step by step what to do?
I would be very satisfied!
I would be extremely gratefull!!
Thanks inforward, I hope somebody can help me out here! (You can also mail to
