Card has Prism 2.5<BR>> chipset. My Ubuntu 9.1 recognizes<BR>> the card but refuses to connect wirelessly. I have ndiswrapper and a Windows<BR>> driver file but cannot connect the two together because the Windows driver<BR>> is an archive which unpacks itself into a Windows folder of folders plus<BR>> several other files. I know the driver actually consists of 5 of those files<BR>> (somewhat dependant on your O/S) but don't know how to get them into my<BR>> Ubuntu O/S.<BR>> <BR>> I don't know whether the inaction is a result of no driver or poor settings.<BR>> I had instantaneous connection with a MAndriva install--it found the card<BR>> and several routers all by itself. ie no settings issue; no passwords.  What<BR>> is SSID and BSSID?<BR>> <BR>> I know the card is good because when I use Windows 2K in the same machine it<BR>> connects.<BR></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Georgia size=2>Tom Stearns<BR>3 Brander Court<BR>Nashua, NH<BR>03063</FONT></DIV></BODY></HTML>
