laptop up, now need wireless Inspiron 3800
-
Hi AllOkay, I have the laptop up and running, now I need a wireless card that is both compatible with the laptop and the OS itself. I am hoping that a cardbus would do the trick, so that I can save a usb port.Would this work?Thanx in advance!

If it's anything like my wpc54G, you'll need to use ndiswrapper to get it working.
The tough part is getting hold of ndiswrapper without having a network connection on your laptop. If you're dual-booting, it's not a problem (the card should work w/o problems on Windows). Grab the ndiswrapper packages from the distro (http://pkgs.slitaz.org/search.cgi, search for tazndis)
I also had to move a few of the modules around so that ndiswrapper was loaded before b44 and ssb. (in my case, I edited the line "LOAD_MODULES" in /etc/rcS.conf to make sure this was the case).
Hope this helps...
Howdy, Stranger!
