Hi,
I am trying to configure wireless on my Dell inspiron 15 notebook
using centOS. This may seem like a repost. I had asked this question
about a month back but then i went home and had no wireless available
so wasn't able to try any of the suggestions. As suggested by  Raj and
Karanbir I downloaded the driver for xp from the dell website and
tried to install it using ndiswrapper.

I unzipped the .exe and installed netathw.inf. ndiswrapper -l tells me
invalid driver! I expected this since the dell website states that the
xp driver applies to only the Wireless 1515 (11agn) WLAN half
mini-card (Atheros). I have a Dell Wireless 1397 802.11b/g Half Mini
Card. The driver for Vista seems to support this card. The problem now
is that I am unable to extract the .inf (or anything else) from .exe
provided for vista. I tried unzip, cabextract and even wine, but all
failed.

Any help would be appreciated.

Regards,
guru
