That's it. It's not trivial and it's X86 only. I having a terrible time getting ANY Wifi card working on a PPC laptop using Ubuntu 7.04. The laptop does not have USB, so it has to be a CARDBUS card. It's definately an Ubuntu problem, the cards and laptop work fine under MacOS. Geoff. -- Geoffrey S.
