PcLinuxOS: Cannot get online with wireless
Hello folks!
Im a fulltime Ubuntu user. well 90/20. the 20 is on WindowsXP.
I'm testing some distros on Virtualbox, and am currently running PcLinuxOS 'celena' on the same.
I use a Linksys Wusb11 ver. 2.6 wireless antenna that has always worked on Ubuntu with no effort on my part, but is nowhere to be found within PcLinux.
I'm not familiar with the KDE environment, and was hoping that someone could assist me with installing the windows driver via ndiswrapper, or if thats not neccessary, figure out how to get this working.

This is probably more of a Virtualbox question. I'm not familiar with that one in particular, but the varieties of virtualization software I've dealt with in the past virtualize hardware differently, if at all. I would guess that Virtualbox does not let you get to your network card. Most of the ones I've worked with use the bridge utilites to provide connectivity to a network, some better than others IMHO.
But as I said, it's best you asked this on a Virtualbox forum for better response.

Thank You. I thought about that, but since LinuxMint, Damnsmall, and Ubuntu Gutsy, all of which are running on my virtual machine, are utilizing my wireless hardware, then it might just be the OS itself.
Thank You for your response.
