Hello all, I am very new to using linux in any form so please bear with me. Im trying to get a linksys wpc11 v3.0 wireless notebook card to work in DSL. My notebook is an old toshiba satellite 2615dvd with only 64megs of memory.

A friend of mine pointed me to DSL for a lightweight OS to run this old pc. Ive searched this forum and ive googled as many word combos involving this topic as I could and nothings worked, so heres my last resort.

According to most things I read this card should have been picked up "out of box" if not then at least a simple set up with prism2 or Ndiswrapper. This however has not been the case. Ive tried dsl 2.0, 2.1rc1 and 2.1rc2. One forum pointed me in the direction of linux-wlan-ng-0.2.3, but I cant figure out how im supposed to install this in linux, and the readme starts talking of compiling and really is beyond me when it comes to linux.

So im hoping someone here can help me out. Ive tried to be as detailed as possible, and would really like to get this working as it runs great otherwise on this old laptop. One other thing to mention, on bootup I see this error code "get dev info on socket0 failed: resource temp unavail" im pretty sure it refering to card but not sure.

Sorry for such a long post but hopfully someone might help me out here. Thanks much in advance.

I belive the wpc11 v 4.0 is a different chipset than my v3.0 isnt it?
Anyway thanks for reply, im going to get some sleep and try this again with a fresh mind, before it drives me nuts :;):

You may use NET8180.inf and rtl8180.sys with NDISWRAPPER. Good luck :D
