Networking :: No working internet yet on my Thinkpad T60

Hi everyone...long time no speak
Sorry to ask another boring wireless question!

I've bought a Leveno Thinkpad T60 with dual core..good little machine...
For the life of me I can't get on the net...either with wireless using ndiswrapper or with the wired ethernet connection ( I do have lights on the network port ). Is there a reason wired internet wouldn't work out the box with DSL 4.1? I have DSL to DHPC client....and rebooted e.t.c

I tried setting up the wireless using ndiswrapper...pointed it to my 5211.inf but it's still saying Connection failed. The sid is correct and the encryption ( I've typed a wep key with : in between each hex pair). I will try taking off encryption but I don't think this is the issue...I downloaded the XP drivers from Leveno's site ( I have to assume I've got the correct ones ). Just to let you know my wireless is working under Vista.........( also to let you know I downloaded the XP drivers for wireless not the vista ones!)

I just wondered what other things I could check/what tools I could use to try to solve this problem.

Sorry I know wireless is the bain of all our lives in Linux lol!

PS Im really getting into DSL 4.1...it will be exciting when firefox 2 is released with Flash 9.....

Thanks for any advice

Can you give any more details on the wired and wireless hardware you have (output from lspci, lsusb, etc)?

Is it possible to run DSL 4.1 embedded to give you this info you needed above or does that not work? (if I could it would make life easier!) Thanks

Yes DSL embedded 4.1 does work on my laptop...I'll post it up the info now thanks.

Just hit a snag...is it possible to cut n paste from DSL embedded into Windows Notepad? I can't save the output as a text file to my USB stick in Beaver as the USB stick isn't showing up in as a mount device.....

Using qemu will not help... it's a virtual machine emulator of sorts.
Even though the best results would be from copy and pasting the output from those utilities, you could've just looked up which network chipset you have.
