Question MacWireless 11b USB adapter usable with YellowDog Linux?


Is the MacWireless 11b USB adapter usable with YellowDog Linux? If so how do I get it up and running, I'm a newbie at linux so please try to not make the explanations too complicated, I'm not that familiar with Linux yet and would like to just get my wireless adapter to work at this point. Please let me know if this is possible and if so how, I'll greatly appreciate it.

Thanks!

Is that the exact name of your card? It's not on this list: http://ndiswrapper.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php/List
and I doubt if it will work since ndiswrapper can use mac drivers as well. Though if you have .inf driver files on the CD you might want to try it cause the possibility might be it works.

But as the site of your card makes clear very properly that it won't support drivers and that you're dependent on other people who make them. I can't find anything on google either and I think it's not a brand many linux users use so you might be out of luck There was one site that gave a link to linux drivers but the link was dead.
