If it is a pcmcia card it might be time to find a new one...if its a built in one make sure its on (might have an on/off switch)

yes it is a pcmia card. And I've no intention of replace it, or get another laptop. I'm disabled and don"t have money to throw at the problem. It works perfectly under windows.

Gary-

I checked the ndiswrapper project page at sourceforge.net, and the WPC11 is listed as one of the cards people have got to work:

Card: Linksys WPC11 v4
Chipset: Realtek RTL8180L
pciid: 1186:3300
Driver: Don't use driver that ships with card. Use driver for RTL8180L from http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/downloads1-3.aspx?Keyword=8180
Other: See D-Link DWL-510 (the pci-id part). Works fine with 2.6 kernel and ndiswrapper 0.8.

So you may wish to try the ndiswrapper route. If you not familiar with it, check out http://ndiswrapper.sourceforge.net/

Good Luck,

Mark

Awesome find bud...
Ndiswrapper is kind of experimental but when it works it works Damn good (pun intended) hehe

Thanks for your help. But being diabled makes making anything too complicated hard to inplement. It needs to be easier than this. I just do not have what I use to have when it comes to tinkering uner the hood.
