Networking :: [newbie] MSI wifi PC54G2 with DSL?



Hi all!

#1: I'm a newbie :D , first time DSL user (some Mandriva tests before)

I'm a bit confused. I read in an another thread that the Chipset: RaLink RT2500 is not natively supported. link here

MSI PC54G2 PCI WiFi Card

I read :
http://damnsmalllinux.org/wiki/index.php/Verified_Wireless_Cards

Then I found:
http://ndiswrapper.sourceforge.net/mediawiki/index.php/List

Am I missing something, or this card should be working with DSL? As I told you, I'm a Linux beginner. I don't know how to install / configure my wifi card.

If somebody can help...

Yes, most users use ndiswrapper with rt2500 under DSL.  It isn't configured out-of-the-box.

The other way is to recompile your kernel.. which may not be user-friendly for new users.
