ubuntu on laptop

[Jose A Merced]

Twinmos (based on the Realtek 8180 chipset) Cardbus WLAN B230.

They offer alleged Linux-native driver, but it is based on 2.4 kernel. It has been a pain to set them up. On my Mandrake machine, I used Linuxant driverloader, but could not get any signal or have an IP assigned. The card works perfectly in Windows.

I am about to try ndiswrapper... but in Mnadrake machine, even after uninstalling ndiswrapper .4 (comes with Mandrake), ndiswrapper didn't work.
