Hi everyone

I am new with wireless PC Card in both windows and linux. I installed this card on windows with no problem. Is there a way to make this card work on Linux?

I have search on goolge buta haven't find anything yet

I am using a Dell inspiron 5100 with Mandrake 9.1.

I found out that Knoppix recognize it automatically with out me doing anyting.

Is the reason the kernel version?
How hard is to to change the kernel version?
Can I return to previous version if something goes wrong?

Tanks everyone

Yes. I haven't really test the wireless card because I am waiting for my wireless router to share my cable modem connection here at my house and we have two laptops with this ipaq wireless card. (One isn't working and I have to change it thats why I haven't tasted the cards)

Anyway Knoppix automatically recognize the card and I can configure but Mandrake don't and I want to make it work on Mandrake.
