I have tried many things to get my mn520 microsoft wireless card communicating with my router. I know the router is set right (WEP enabled), and I even modified the etc/pcmcia/config with the card, version, and bind info, but I still can't access the internet!

I also initially tried to install the driver with ndiswrapper and I think I did it right. But nothing happened. I checked the network interfaces tab in mepis os center and wlan0 is down.

I noticed that while booting a message appears stating something like "another pump may be running". What is a pump and how do I fix that? I have a feeling that it is related to my network woes.

Please don't hijack other people's threads. It is confusing and your question doesn't get proper exposure. Consider starting a new thread.

um...........

im quick replying here sry

sry it did it again

um...can you give me instructions for install for kubuntu 7.04

Well, did you have a look at the link I posted? The procedure should be identical only the last part will be a bit different. I Gnome you go to System > Network to configure the card once the driver has been installed, in KDE you'll need to look elsewhere. I'm afraid that I can't be any more specific considering I'm not a KDE user. I would say, just search the KDE control center, there's bound to be a heading that covers networking.

yeah i kind need it for kde...

can anyone else help me

nevermind.....i got it to work but putting on wake up lan after shutdown in windows device manager so it works now but i need to know how to intall firefox step by step

What do you mean, install firefox? Isn't it installed by default?

It would be helpful if you stated the distribution your are using.

kubuntu 7.04...no it didnt come with firefox

Well, again, I'm not familiar with Kubuntu but it seems to me that you should be able to find it if you open your Smart package manager. You could also go to the firefox site and install it manually, that would work too but it wouldn't integrate as well with the rest of the system without putting in some extra effort.

Debian repositories don't have Firefox due to a pointless disagreement with Mozilla.

Check to see if you have Iceweasel installed - it's the same program under a new name.

i instlled it using adept installer...
but i want to know how to install manually
packaged files and so forth
