will d-link wireless-g USB work on old laptop running Zenwalk?
I have an old IBM 600E PII laptop that I had in my closet from years ago and brought it out because my grandfather would like to use it while on vacation for e-mailing and such. There was a version of Win NT on it but as with most windows systems, from years of use it was nothing but corrupt and pretty much inoperable, so I decided to install the Zenwalk distro on it as it seemed most fit to operate best on such an old system. My question is if I can use for example a d-link wireless-g USB adapter for this computer with that installed distro? Would it maybe be better to install a wireless card instead? Any input would be much appreciated.

Hi,
Thanks to evIl gaITS, iWnDOES is totally useless for penguin world. (greedy company friendly.) It depends on the chip you want to use, if ahteros, read http://madwifi.org/wiki/Requirements D-link usually uses several differnt chip under same name. If other chips, find some other source (HCL and network forum) Happy Penguins! |
