BT voyager 1060 under linux


Hi,

Firstly thanks to everyone here who helped me get my toshiba satellite running linux.

I am now trying to get my BT Voyager 1060 wireless card working. I have done some research and found NSWRAPPER to be the reccommended one to use. However, it requires the windows '.ini' driver file for the wifi card. I have installed the windows software for the card on a Windows ME laptop but it generates no '.ini' file to copy, just an 'NDIS.VXD'.

How can I get the ini file for this network card? Will I need to install the software under XP to get the ini?

Thanks in advance for the help,

Marcus

Thanks Chris. I'll try that and let you know how it goes. Is your 1060 now completely functional under linux?
