Ok I have the Dell Inspiron 700m.  It comes with the centrino processor and has the 802.11g built in.  Can anyone please explain how to get it to work with DSL as it is not working at the moment and is not being detected.

There's a dedicated linux driver here - http://ipw2200.sourceforge.net/ but unfortunately it requires a kernel patch and recompile.

Sorry, I just assumed that because other owners of that chipset mentioned the link that it was the only option.
Google reveals that there are some people reporting success with ndiswrapper and the Intel ProWireless.

Do a search on this forum for "ndiswrapper", it's been discussed many times before.

One tip I recall is when sourcing your Windows driver, you might need other files in addition to the .inf file.

Please post an example of these successes with ndiswrapper and the Intel Prowireless.  Searching the DSL forums doesn't give much hope - see  here for example.

I have tried to find a Win98 driver set for the IPW2200 but, according to the Intel site and others, only Win2000, WinXP and newer are supported.

Very much look forward to the info.
