Wireless on my IBM R31

Hunnicutt · 06-09-2005, 11:26 AM

Hi gents,

I have a IBM R31 and I would like to set it up to use my Wireless Router (DLINK). I have a DWL 650+ Dlink card. After knocking myself out for 2 days I give up and have come to realize tha twith my little knowledge and skill in Linux I will never get it working. So here is my question, What card will be/have the easiest setup (Plug and go) and how would I go about getting it setup. I have a IBM R31 with 2 PCMCIA slots (no built in Wireless) and I am running KDE on Slackware 10.0.

Thanks guys,

Have you looked for wireless cards in the "HCL" (accessed from the banner). You can also check out your laptop there ... if you have hardware wot is not there, please put it there

Have seen http://www.wi-fi.org ?

I will check there.. thanks for the reply. I am not 100% with Linux yet but I am learning... I will let you know if I have any results... good or bad.
