Im tossing this here as I am not sure how to do this in linux Windows networking I have down

Ok I thought that I would be able to figure this out and I havent searched google yet so I thought I would toss my question out here while I looked.

The laptop is a Gateway solo 9300 p3 550 the wireless card is a trend tew - 226pc

MY os installation went ok I installed "everything" in the software packages. However I cannot figure out how to configure networking in linux. There is stuff there I never seen before and it frightens me

From what I can find off hand, there is a cardbus Tew-226pc

wlan-ng project says:
TRENDware 802.11b TEW-226PC Cardbus Realtek?


But you say its PCMCIA, so thats weird. Wireles in linux is really supported by cards with an ornico or prism2 chipset. You may have a realtek chipset which makes it harder.


HOWEVER! there is the ndiswrapper project that lets windows drivers work sometimes through an emulation layer.
NDISwrapper
Its prolly your best bet now

Sorry my thought is slurred


TRENDNet TEW-226 PC PCMCIA

however I do have a pci version in my pc that uses the same driver disk


I think I will till I get off of theese pain killers before I try that as i would hate to figure it out just to forget it.


Apparently My wife said that I was singing MAMBO #5 at the denitist office as they were wheeling me out to the car.
