I'm new to linux, so you will have to excuse my ignorance. I looked in the forums for help and on the web but couldn't figure out how to get ndiswrapper to work with my Motorola WN825G wireless card. I don't know if it is the card, or if I just don't know how to use ndiswrapper (maybe I'm filling out the fields incorrectly) for dsl-n correctly. I got the .inf file from the instal cd and put it in my home directory. I am running RC2 (haven't had time to try RC3 yet) from a HDD USB install on a
Dell Inspiron 5100-
P4
763 MB ram
If anyone could help I would appreciate it. This is my first experience with Linux and so far it has been very enjoyable. Now if I could only get the wireless card to work.

First step is to find your card's drivers.
Once you have found your card on [i]the list[/i] then in simplest terms:
As [b]root[/b] manually perform the following steps:
1. unpack the driver and locate the [b].inf[/b] and [b].sys[/b] files. Be sure to keep these two files together.
2. ndiswrapper -i [i]your_card[/i].inf
3. modprobe ndiswrapper
4. iwconfig wlan0 essid your_sid_here
5. pump -i wlan0 |
