I´m ebrious of egocentrism and autoafirmation.

dsl is the fast distro to install and reinstall for linux newbes and one of the few solution for a linux distro to 3º world, with basic telephone lines and no adsl and cable connectión.
It's always a good start to find out what chipset your device contains.
You have a Broadcom chipset, so you need to use ndiswrapper.
DSLPanel > Ndiswrapper
i use ndiswrapper and dont work ...change the path of the ndiswrapper to belkin mdwl5.inf in hda1 and afther copy to /home/dsl..
download ndiswrapper list driver and no response at all...
my card is F5D7000 (ef version) and 54G PCI ...who is wrong?
how works ndiswrapper ?
It's true... I drove 20 miles to find a wireless card that worked "out of the box," but the F5D7000 isn't detected at boot time after all. Wiki has been updated.
