Wireless PCI cards and archives

[Stephen Durham]

I have the same model DLink, you need to use ndiswrapper, there is a how
to on the ubuntu website. It is really easy to setup, I don't even think
you need to install ndiswrapper anymore.

As far as the hard drive, you might need to edit fstab and add the
second drive and make a mount point for it. It will be something like
this in fstab: "/dev/hdb1 /mnt/windows vfat rw,user,noauto 0 0"
It might be a bit different the fields that you need to worry about are
the first four: "device mount-point filesystem options." I think "man
fstab" will also give you a decent idea of what is going on.
