i have problem installing the wireless lan card "DWL 520 " can some one give me the solution or provide the detail that how i can successfully install this driver on my linux mechine
i am using red hat 9.0 with kernel 2.4
http://ndiswrapper.sourceforge.net/ Check out this site. Ndiswrapper is supposed to support your card. You might need to recompile your kernel though depending on the number after 2.4.
No we won't email you since then nobody else who has the same problem as you can find it here.
what if it does not work, i want to get the drivers onto my second drive (not installed)
befor i install redhat, i am also using a DWL-520 wireless card...
I have just installed debain and i also need the drivers beause i have lost my cd that contain them. could you please post them for me, if you cant get them up onthe internet anywere you can email me. briancwald@gmail.com Thank you.
tormented_one: Thanks alot, i dont think i should have any problems with the drivers i have got my wireless card running on my laptop. thanks for your help
oh one last thing, does these drivers require me to put them in ndiswrapper. i know i had to use ndiswarpper fro my dlink g630. im running debian testing btw.
