I wasn't quite sure which forum this should be posted in but here I go...

Doe's anyone know where I can get generic infrared and bluetooth drivers, I did see something posted the other day about bluetooth on DSL but could not see the fist part of the solution.
Many thank in Advance
LeightonW

PS: Why can't I start a post in networking, I need drivers for a Wlan Device "Belkin 56g Wireless Network card" It's a usb dongle and would be very pleased if someone would point me in the right direction. I'm going to get a new onesee. The one I got is broken( "Nephew Stepped on it.")

The generic irda drivers (and a couple of FIR drivers) are already included with DSL. I managed to get them to work with DSL-N but DSL hangs if I try the same thing.

You can find the generic Bluetooth drivers on the Knoppix 3.4 CD or, you can download bluez-utils.unc - the same drivers are included with this package.

For irda, you could try looking at http://www.damnsmalllinux.org/dsl-n/f/viewtopic/555.html

Note that the equivalent module in DSL is smc-ircc

For Bluetooth, try  looking at http://damnsmalllinux.org/cgi-bin....t=17050
