hi there, I'm new on DSL with my old pentium 133 LAPTOP ;)
if I use ndiswrapper, I can use my rt2500 card? Or I have to recompile the kernel without SMP?
I'm noob so I'm not able to recompile the kernel for now, but... what's SMP? It's useful on old machines? I need wireless! :(

Thanks!

question 1: yes
question 2: if you want to

SMP is for symmetrical multiprocessing... you can look it up via google for more info.  Basically you don't need it if you only have 1 processing thread - in your case I doubt your laptop has more than 1 cpu.

You probably need to configure it first.
