lspci should show you what the card is. On my system, I get the following: 02:02.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4306 802.11b/g Wireless LAN Controller (rev 03) Right there. You don't need Windows, but you will need the official drivers to use something like ndiswrapper, as I suggest. Either get them from the manufacturer of the card (Broadcom in my case) or from the manufaturer of the laptop (better and probably a smarter choice). -- 下手な考え休むに似たり。 http://stormwyrm.blogspot.com
