hi, i have a tellus model c130 wifi network card, and i was wondering if i can get to work in DSL. it's a PCMCIA cardbus card.

if anything i guess i could use ndiswrapper right? i've tried that and it doesnt work. which version of windows driver do i have to use on it? (98, xp, 2000, or nt?)

thanks
-mike

Try using the recommended driver listed on the ndiswrapper site.

it doesn't list one... if i load the XP drivers into ndiswrapper and the light on the card doesn't turn on, that means its not compatible, right?

I just tried to find out what chipset your wireless adapter uses. Tellus doesn't seem to want anyone to know, but some of their other models use Prism2, so you could just go ahead and try the Prism2 driver in DSL (from linux-wlan-ng).

Launch the DSLpanel, then click Prism2.
Enter your SSID, and enter your WEP key - making sure to place a colon between every 2 characters.
Click OK.
Ping your wireless router to check if it's working.
