Wireless USB LAN Adapter


I'm using an "OvisLink Air Live" wireless adapter (USB) and it requires driver installation. The drivers on it's CD are for windows. How do I get them to work on Mandriva 2007?

You could use ndiswrapper to use the Windows drivers under Linux. That may or may not work.

Before using the Windows drivers, you should try and find out of the device has native drivers that you can use instead.
