I just went out and bought a Belkin Wireless G Notebook Card, and wanted to install it on Zenwalk but it didn't even seem to recognize it. Any suggestions on how to get it to work. I'm pretty new to the linux world so i'm not sure how to even begin configuring this device. Does linux use windows .inf files as drivers for the device because I have the CD in my possesion with drivers on it. Thanks in advance for any help.

The first thing you need to do is figure out the chipset it is using. The command "lspci" will show that. Then you need to do a little research and figure out if there are native drivers for that chipset (which you would generally do before buying hardware you want to use on a Linux machine, for future reference).

You can use the Windows drivers on Linux under ndiswrapper, but that is really a last resort. Not all drivers/cards will work, and even when they do, it is generally with limited functionality. You really want to be using native drivers when at all possible.
