If you're willing to try other distros I suggest Mepis. It's based on Ubuntu and has most the non-free binaries pre-installed already. Winmodems, some codecs, etc. Best of both worlds (free, non-free) in one package.

Hi all, I'm working with a laptop that has a wifi device that can't be detected in linux. I'd still like to get wifi (802.11b is fine, I don't need anything faster) working though. Does anyone have suggestions (brand-model#) for a USB or PC-Card wifi device that works with linux drivers and without recompiling the kernel? I tend to use kernels that come with my distro of the week now, no time to download patches, apply patches, setup lilo, reboot, test kernel, retry. Oh yeah, and given the brand and model number, what modules should be loaded (possibly with special module config options) to enable the wifi device? At some point I might be willing to use ndiswrapper. I'd rather avoid that though, if at all possible. tiger _________________________________________________ Philippine Linux Users' Group (PLUG) Mailing List [email protected] (#PLUG @ irc.free.net.ph) Read the Guidelines: http://linux.org.ph/lists Searchable Archives: http://archives.free.net.ph
