[Top posting fixed - DONT top mmkay?] Guido, Are you saying you have an Intel pro wireless card in your aspire? If so, you don't need NDIS wrapper - it's supported natively in Linux. The specifics of installing under Xandros I can't comment on....never used it. Although it wouldn't be too different to other Debian-based distro's. Maybe ask on a Xandrox list?
