install the newest drivers for it-- if you havn't.

they may not be in the mandy repositories.. so look on the net or the manufactorers site.

good luck, let us know.

what do you mean 'nothing was found'.

are you trying to connect to your network or anothers?

if yours, then you need to have your network setup so the router can find it.

also normally you want everything set to: dhcp NOT static.

do you have a wireless network card installed on your pc?

and what about ndiswrapper-- that is ONLY if linux does not have any drivers for hardware.. and i doubt seriously that linksis doesn't.

let us know.
