Im using slackware linux 10.1 on an dell inspiron 2200 and i cant seem to find my ethernet card or get my wirless card to work i have ndiswrapper installed and i believe the correct driver but it looks like there is no power to the card any help would be much appriciated
Im not able to tell what kind of onboard nic you have the dell website is not very descriptive but you do have the Intel 2200b/g wifi card. Instead of the ndiswrapper try the ipw2200 driver, this is what I use on Slackware with this wifi card and it works like a champ for browsing the web, gaming etc, no working rfmon or injection from this card though atm http://ipw2200.sourceforge.net/
