If it is a pcmcia card it might be time to find a new one...if its a built in one make sure its on (might have an on/off switch)

yes it is a pcmia card. And I've no intention of replace it, or get another laptop. I'm disabled and don"t have money to throw at the problem. It works perfectly under windows.

Gary-

I checked the ndiswrapper project page at sourceforge.net, and the WPC11 is listed as one of the cards people have got to work:

Card: Linksys WPC11 v4
Chipset: Realtek RTL8180L
pciid: 1186:3300
Driver: Don't use driver that ships with card. Use driver for RTL8180L from http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/downloads1-3.aspx?Keyword=8180
Other: See D-Link DWL-510 (the pci-id part). Works fine with 2.6 kernel and ndiswrapper 0.8.

So you may wish to try the ndiswrapper route. If you not familiar with it, check out http://ndiswrapper.sourceforge.net/

Good Luck,

Mark

Thanks for your help. But being diabled makes making anything too complicated hard to inplement. It needs to be easier than this. I just do not have what I use to have when it comes to tinkering uner the hood.
