That's what's fun about dsl, one day you are a noob and the next day you get to help someone else.  I just finished getting my wpc11 card working so here goes.
1.  click on the dsl panel
2.  select the ndiswrapper button
3.  the first slot - full path to driver inf file (/fd0/xxxxxx.inf)
4.  second slot - leave alone
5.  third slot - name of wireless network (mine is linksys, yours might be different)
6.  fourth slot - if wep is set, enter encryption code like this xx:xx:xx:xx:xx)
7.  Press OK and keep your fingers crossed.
Keep me posted!

Hey everybody, it works! Got it working by using iwconfig. I am a dummie. I was forgetting to put the ":" between numbers when typing in the WEP. Once I did that ... BAM! ... "You are connected!"

Everybody in this forum is awesome! Especially the guys that helped me out. You answered the cry of a frustrated lone n00b lost in the DSL woods. Now I hope I can someday help somebody else.

Now on to coping with with surfing the Web with a slow machine. Dillo is pretty cool. With 32mb, Firefox and Opera lock up occasionally, requiring me to reboot.

DSL rocks! Thanks again!
