Dell Truemobile 1180 Wireless USB Adapter(BCM4301)


Hi,
I have a dell truemobile 1180 wireless USB adapter and I can't get it to work in RH9. I've tried NDisWrapper and Linuxent DriverLoader. It is of the BCM4301 chipset. Can someone please help me?

I've tried looking for PCI adapters and none that I see are compatible with RH9...

I've also asked on the dell forums

Could you be a little more specific? Ndiswrapper does support that chipset so if you could post details about what you tried and where it seemed to go wrong, it would be helpful.

I don't even think that either driverloader or ndiswrapper would install right on my redhat 9.0 machine...It's a i686---I don't think that either of them support a USB device. I may just end up buying a LinkSys WMP11 from Ebay and installing the drivers(I found a tutorial at some website..) I tried to install ndis from a floppy disk, I doubled clicked the file and it did something with checking dependencies and then it closed out and my hard drive made some nosies..I've never installed any RPMs before so I thought that's what it was supposed to do. Thanks for any help If I get a response before tommorow and whoever it is helps me, I will give you credit in my signature and on my website(s)

Thanks,
