Try width window drivers & Ndiswrapper

If you aren't sure check Ndiswrapper List of cards supported

Mine's works.

Good luck

What is your driver version ? Why you use ndiswrapper since madwifi support AR5007EG ?

MY question is what wireless chipset card comes with this two model ?

1. Toshiba Satelite Pro A210-EZ2203X
2. Toshiba Satelite A215-S5849

Another question is does the card is fully supported by BT 2 or BT 3 beta ?

Thanks for your help.

I wonder is there any expansion slot that connect the minipic slot of laptop and expand it to outside of laptop. So, i can connect my Netgear WG511T to the converter.

Madwifi does NOT officially support the AR5007EG yet, the only way to get it working is a specially patched developmental version, which doesn't work great on my system, or ndiswrapper, which is flawless.

How about the converter ?
