Linux  Wireless Card.?

First of all if you can get hold of it you would be better installing Suse 10 which is the latest version, (downloadable and can be got free on disc). whichever version you install what you want to install is ndiswrapper which you will find by going to kmenu (the green icon on the taskbar) then choose system, then Yast2. when you click on yast2 you will be asked for your root password, when you have done that click on software management and a screen will come up select search and type in ndiswrapper which will come up with a box in the right hand of the window, check this and click accept at the bottom. this will bring up a window asking you to insert one of your suse CDs just follow the instructions. Sorry I don't use wireless so I don't know how to configure it, I suspect Suse will do a lot of the work for you,\n\nAs for installing softwar on Linux it is a little more difficult but that is why Linux is more stable and secure.\nIf you go to a download site try and get a RPM file which is specific to your distribution or one that ends with noarch, when you have downloaded it just click on "install with yast" and follow the instructions. Or you can go to software management as above and where at the top left of the window it says filter, click the arrow on the button next to it and select "package groups" then search through for any programmes you may want to install, again check the box and accept, (you can select as many as you like before accepting)there is about 1500 programmes with Suse 10.\n\nYou won't be able to install Microsoft windows programmes directly i.e. programmes with an exe. extension without using a programme like wine or crossover.\n\nIf you download a programme as a .tar.bz2 or .tar.gz it's a little more complicated, roughly what you do here is put this file in a separate directory and right click then choose extract then extract here. then you open a shell which is the tv screen icon on the taskbar then you type\n\ncd /home/fred/program.0.92.0.tar.bz2 \n(that is if you extracted the programme to the directory /home/fred/ and the programme is called program.0.92.0.tar.bz2) then press enter  the next thing is type "./configure"  then enter then type "make" then enter then you should type \n"su" then enter then type your root password when prompted (no letters will show for your password) then type "make install"  (dont type the " marks) if there are no dependency issues the programme will install itself, between each of these steps a load of text will run itself on the screen wait until you get your user name followed by # before the next step.

Were you using the Windows zero configuration service or some proprietary wireless configuration utility that came with the wireless card?  If proprietary, then is it still running?

Unless it's a laptop you're going to be struggling. You need to either:\n\nBuy a PCI - PCMCIA adapter to install on your motherboard.\n\nor\n\nBuy a PCI GPRS Wireless card.

any kind of wireless card that will be compatible with your operating system. first find out what is your system configuration. \nthen check out computer stores online/offline and check for wireless cards that are compatible with your configuration.

Goto control panel then system and open it.\nam assuming you are using Windows XP.. if so goto Hardware and then device manager. Under Network cards you would see your wireless card listed, note down the name of the card along with the model no. goto the manufacturer's website and check out there support section for updates.\nAlternatively you could goto your laptop manufacturer's website and look for any updated device drivers. You would need the exact model no of your laptop to do so. You would find it under the laptop.\n\nHope this helps.

if your computer doesn't have a wireless card, go pick up a wireless  usb adapter.  it's a lot easier to set up than opening your computer and installing a pci card.\n\nhere is an example.\n\nBelkin Wireless-G USB 2.0 Network Adapter \nModel: F5D7050\nit goes for about $40, but you can always find a cheaper one from Fry's.

No your drivers will not work. \n\nUbuntu has its own drivers to run just about everything that is common on most PCs. I would not expect to have a hard time getting CD drives, modems, and LAN cards to work. If you have a multi function printer/fax machine...you may be out of luck.\n\nThe major exception is Wireless cards. There is a program called NdisWrapper that will allow you to use some Windows drivers to activate Wireless cards if Ubuntu does not have them already.\n\nMy suggestion is to use the Ubuntu live CD. This will let you use the system and see what hardware is supported before you try a full install.

You need to have what they call a wireless capable Network card. With the wireless capable card and the software that goes with it, you can have the Wireless Internet access.\n\nYou need to find out which model of Wireless card you have. You can refer to the manual or call the laptop company to find out what model of card you have. You can go from there.\n\nHope this answer was helpful and please leave me a feedback.\nThanks,\n\nGuru

Right-click on "My Computer", and select "Properties". Go to the "Hardware" tab and select "Device Manager". Expand "Network" there and it will show all network devices installed. Look for a wireless network card.

Enable the wireless card to accept connections.\n\nThat should be it. Also you have to have SP2 for Windows\nIt sorts out any wireless problems

you need to install the linux driver for the network card. If there is a native linux driver, then use that, otherwise, most people use a wrapper for their windows driver called ndiswrapper.\n\ngood luck
