Thank you so much for the link, amartyo.

As it turns out, Ubuntu 8.10 works with the card right out of the box, so I'm planning on installing the version before that to see if it's any good. Thanks for the tip on Mandriva. Which kernel version do you use? I have Debian Etch installed currently and since I don't have Internet connectivity on that box I can't download the sources to compile the kernel module. Is it possible that you could attach your binary module? Would it work if I used that one? > One small glitch I encounter occasionally when I start up the PC is > that although the card has connected to the network and got an IP > address, pinging the router does not work, therefore there is not 'net > access. Hmm, so far, this hasn't happened to me. It picks up the network really fast. -- Regards, Roshan George <[email protected]> _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, email [email protected] with "unsubscribe <password> <address>" in the subject or body of the message. http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc
