how to install wireless card
 

I have mandrak 9.1 on my laptop.
how do i use my wireless card, its not detecting it

I have belkin wireless notebook card , 802.11b

regards

what is the exact model number and version if any of the card?

Heya beyer42, I need to ask the exact same question. My card is a Belkin F5D6020 ver. 2. I thought I saw something about it during the install when Fedora was detecting my hardware, but I must have clicked through it or something... Anyhow, any help that you could throw towards yet another noob would be greatly appreciated.

Pull the card out, then put it back in while the machine is fully booted, then type lsmod into a root console. If nothing wifi related comes up, you need to install the drivers. If you see some modules for your card, use the network config tool to set it up.

Instead of Atmel driver can use latest cvs tarball from
