Well, I decided that I wanted to try the i386 version of Ubuntu, so I took the Mandrake off the laptop and installed Ubuntu. I am almost at the same place with the wireless card. When I modprobe, the system tells me that it can't insert ndiswrapper, the module is incorrect. I have the .ko (for gcc 3.2.2), not the .o Should I recompile? -- slow'puter
