ive finally been able to see my wireless card (thanks to ndiswrapper and numurous fourms) but now i have no clue what to do to get the internet working, a few places have said that ive got to setup the network parameters for my interface (wlan0) and that this is OS specific, how do i do this in college linux 2.5??
here are some outputs of my wireless state;
this is what i get from netstat
# netstat -rn
Kernel IP routing table
