Sadly, I sure can't get it to work. I originally bought a generically branded card. After setting it up with ndiswrapper*, it was able to connect to the store's network, i.e. both the link and the activity lights worked, but I couldn't ping anything. I figured it was some sort of authentication error. *sudo aptitude install ndiswrapper-1.9 ndiswrapper-utils sudo ndiswrapper -i <path to winxp inf file on CD> sudo ndiswrapper -m <reboot> At home, the activity light kept blinking, but no link. I gave up. I bought another card, a Belkin this time. I set it up**. This time it locks the kernel with no lights lit on the card. I found a couple of posts indicating that this was a problem with certain Belkin cards with rt61 chipsets and found this fix*** which I applied. Seems the same problem exists. I am really tired of using the thumbdrive sneaker network. I'd like to start over, any suggestions of undoing any harm I did and what I should do instead. I still have both cards and don't care which one I get working. ** sudo ndiswrapper -e <other card's driver> sudo ndiswrapper -i <path to new card's XP inf file on CD> ***http://ubuntu.loathsome.us/doc/rt61 sudo ndiswrapper -m (returns errors indicating an alias already exists) -- _____________________________________________________________ Art Alexion PGP fingerprint: 52A4 B10C AA73 096F A661 92D2 3B65 8EAC ACC5 BA7A Keyserver: hkp://subkeys.pgp.net The attachment - signature.asc - is my electronic signature; no need for alarm.
