Hi. I've jst dl'ed the latest samll linux, and it looks great. But my wireless netwok is not working out of the box so to speak. I'm a relative linux newbie, and I've seached the forums , but no easy fix appears to be availible. The card is model WPC11 version 4. I'm running from the cd. Is there anyway of fixing? Do i need to do a hard drive install first? I'd like to test it first before I blow away my windows XP partion as this is a used system given to me (I'm disabled) and have no disk or restore patition to bing it back if I need to., Be kind, and thanks

I have a Linksys WPC11 ver3 and it autoloads the hermes, orinoco and orinoco_cs drivers automatically

Perhaps if you forced them to load

Code Sample

modprobe hermes
modprobe orinoco
modprobe orinoco_cs

It would work...other than that im not fully sure on what might be the problem...the ndiswrapper might be your only other bet with that card

Tgaks for your posts. Forcing thme from a termial propt gives me error, and a non-fuctuional card. Ndiswrrapewr says there are no supported cards found. What next? It also doesn't auto-detect them unfortunatly.
