Hi

I am fairly new to linux and i just bought a 700m.

when i install mandrake 10 all hardware is recognized except my integrated wifi card, im sure this means there are no linux drivers for the dell card. Have any of you ever put mandrake on a 700m? I Searched google for about 2 days off and on thats why im posting here, can't find to much.

Anyone?

What type of a card is that, and I dont know what 700m is.. could you explain please?

sorry

the dell inspirion 700m is a ultraportable notebook.

the integrated wifi card is a Dell Wireless 1350 Internal WiFi (802.11b/g, 54Mbps)(802.11 b/g, 54Mbps)

thanks

Hello,

I have recently bought a DELL 510 M. Mine was delivered with a wireless card with a Broadcom chipset. This chipset is not recognized by Linux.
I had to install 'ndiswrapper' (have a look on sourceforge.net) to be able to use the Windows driver under Linux (Mandrake 10.1).
The specification on my card are :
I do not know which chipset is installed but it could be interresting to investigate that option and possible explanation.

Hope this helps,
Regards,

Vincent
