ThinkPad T40 built in wireless
i'm not sure if this is appropriate for hardware or networking...so...i just put it here
i have a brand new IBM ThinkPad T40 with the "dual band a/b wireless card" (that is all it says in the system). i like to run live-eval versions of Linux security distros...like Knoppix and PHLAK...however...these distros won't pick up the wireless card...they only pick up my gigabit ethernet.... in windows when i do a device manager...and properties of the wireless card...i get this Dual-band Wi-Fi Wireless Mini PCI Adapter Manufacturer: PHILLIPS COMPONENTS Location: PCI Slot 1 and as we speak i am using a PHILLIPS driver... is there anyway that anyone knows of to probe this card and get it to work wireless-ly....or am i just going to need to get a PCMCIA card and work with that...??? thanks, daemon |
ok...i guess an update....
i have found "beta" drivers do exist for my card....it is actually a Philips/Atheros chipset that isn't supported yet by linux. i have tried to find some drivers...however...i am being led around in circles... does anyone know where these drivers are located...? q. |
