no wi-fi access on Acer Travelmate 8104

MurX · 12-05-2005, 03:32 AM

I have installed FC 3 on my laptop but I can not seem to detect the wireless network.

It works with winXP but when I boot up I get a window that wants to detect the available networks but when I click on the "detect Notworks" icon it says that it can detect any network.

I assume that I need to down some drivers for the wireless card but I am not sure.

Thanks for any help that anyone can offer.

G'day MurX

Try this sit:

and

These did the trick for me with my Anthros chipped card.
You have 2 choices 1) use NDISwrapper (goodle it)or
2) install MADWIFI driver if you have an Antrhos chipseton your card.
