*sigh*

Well, it appears that I didn't buy my WPC11 long ago enough, it is a Version 4.

I went ahead and tried the commands you gave me, but no joy (obviously). I kept getting a "no such device" response.

What do I do now?

Okay, I am now browsing on the net with DSL and Dillo using my 3Com card and a wired connection (that's right CAT-5 to the rescue). It's pretty cool, but I would still prefer to go wireless with my WPC11. Sadly, as I said before, it is a v4, so I know that it will require a bit of work, but what can I do?

Anyways, it's cool to be on the net with Linux!

Goto ndiswrapper.sourceforge.net..
Get the recommended WINDOWS DRIVERS for the card.

Make sure you have an *.inf file and a *.sys file

Let us know when you've got them in hand ..

Cool!

I've got the latest drivers for windows from the link at ndiswrapper.

One quick super-newbie question: I used WinXP to DL the drivers to a folder on my HD, but I have not been able to understand how to read the files on my HD from DSL, or any other flavor of Linux for that matter. Perhaps it will all become clear once we get going, eh?

Anyways, I've got what you asked for.
