Howdy y'all. I recently got this laptop, and of course, then I want wireless networking (cause I spend too much time at coffee shops, and I only have dialup at home). So I bought a card (Belkin Wireless G Notebook Card f5d7010 ver.5000), fired DSL, and started tweaking. Here's what's happened so far (not copy-pasting cause the laptop's not online yet):
# ndiswrapper -i /<path_to_mydriver>/<mydriver>.inf # ndiswrapper -l blkwgn hardware present # modprobe ndiswrapper # iwconfig lo no wireless extensions wlan0 ieee 802.11b blah blah blah
So, I assume this worked. The crappy part is I don't have wireless nothing at home, so I don't know if it's actually worked yet, or if I have to do something else, or what (hence this post's title). I'd like to get this set up as much as possible at home before I go carting it around. Which brings me to my first question:
What now?
After that, here's the second question:
Having never done this before, what is it I do when I get to the local freakin Starbucks/GFE/whatever?
Thanks in advance for any help, and thanks in the present for reading my droning.
