NDISWrapper is your best shot. It works almost all the time. But be careful since you have a server there. Windows drivers and NDISWrapper in general have a certain knack to crash the Linux kernel. If you do require Wifi connectivity on your server I would recommend using a _wired_ ethernet card connected to a wifi AP / Router. Thats the best and safest way to go wireless on your server :) And a tip, stay away from Netgear. Their wifi cards are very Linux unfriendly... -- Regards, Dinesh A.
