I have a Dell TrueMobile 1300 802.11 b/g PC Card. Can I get this to work in Linux? If yes, then how?

Many wireless cards are beginning to gain support under Linux.  If you still have a problem, I recommend you research a program called "ndiswrapper".  It allows you to load windows drivers under Linux.\n\nFirst you must install, then run "ndiswrapper -i <drivername>.inf", finally "modprobe ndiswrapper" to load the driver, as root.\n\nPlease note I have not used it in a while, so the above instructions may vary.

If the wireless card is internal, your stuck, unless the manufacturer has a provision for an external antnna. If your using a PCMICIA wireless card, choose a new card like the Proxim, or Seano. Theses cards have a provision for an external antenna. Additionaly, to a certain extent everything has to be equal, i.e., if the Router has a 'huge' antenna-It makes no difference. The Laptop can 'here' it, but can't talk back.

Have you checked the Linux Hardware Compatibility List at LinuxQuestions.org (see sources)?

You have to have a wireless card in your pc

We were having the same problem at work with our Verizon Wireless PC cards! The only way that I could get our internet/LAN to continue working was to install ONLY the driver for the wireless card...not the software pack. I had Verizon Wireless send me the individual file for the cards drivers. After I received the driver I set it up just like a modem (since that is all it is). I no longer have the pretty Verizon menu showing the connection and strength but heck it worked!

The wireless card in your laptop needs software from it's manufacturer to connect. What Windows is telling you is that the built in zero configuration wireless utility in Windows XP doesn't work with the card you are using. Get another card, or download the right software for the card you have from the manufacturer's website.

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

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

it depends on what type of internet connection you want. dial-up, broadband or wireless. For dial-up you need an analog modem, for broadband a LAN network card and for wireless a WLAN card 54Mbit (802.11g) or 11Mbit (802.11b).\nWhile dial-up and LAN cards are available as (E)ISA (Industry Standard Architecture) and PCI (Peripheral Component Interconnect) the WLAN cards are only available as PCI. In case you want a wireless card, check if W95 will support it (i think W95 don't support it, with W98 it's no problem). One important thing to consider - Computers of that age have a PCI 2.0 compliant bus, but newer PCI cards are either 2.1 or 2.2 compliant and there is no backward compatibility.\nNow assure what type of slots are free and then you can decide what type of connection you can/will install.

You can purchase any wireless PCMCIA card for that particular laptop. What you are looking for is a thin, credit card sized device that will allow you to connect to the internet. \n\nSome companies to consider:\n\nLinksys\nNetgear\nD-Link\nBelkin

You need a card which supports 802.11G (it's backward compatible with the older and slower standards which are 802.11A and B). \nI just bought one from Linksys, it works fine. I would not recommend those fancy new cards with reconfigurables antennas and double bandwidth, I didn't find it worth the extra bucks.

Free BSD will most likely recognize your network card driver on its own.  If it didn't you would need to manually config the driver- using the command line- which it sounds like isn't something you are used to doing, based on the question.\n\nIdentify which network card version, manufacturer that you have and then go to the FreeBSD.org website and look at the list of compatible network cards.  \n\nIf it is not supported I suggest you spend $10 for one that is!\n\nHope this helps, Vote for me please!

Install a wireless pcmcia adapter card if not already equipped. Have software to facilitate the usage of said card. Be near a WAP or wireless access point and join the network.

Windows XP has the most extensive driver database yet, so more than likely you will be able to but remember these are basic drivers i would definitely download the latest driver from the manuf. to use all the functions of the card.

I have no idea.  you could ask the people at Cnet.com for some help.  Call the Geek Squad at bestbuy.com.  or just ask the company that made the wireless internet card
