Re: [Dorset] Best starter programming language
Well... BASIC. It helped me learn the programming principles learning QBASIC.

Re: [Dorset] Shades of Grey - Ndiswrapper config
The PCMCIA card is a Linksys WPC54g revision 5. I have spent some time every evening since before last Friday working on this, and am now giving up and admitting defeat. I'll move on to my next problem. Before you give up it might be worth trying a different driver with the card. A bit of searching on google led me to: http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/ndiswrapper/index.php?title=Airnet_AWD154 there you can download a driver which have been known to have worked with the chipset on the PCMCIA card. I think 'ndiswrapper -e drivername' can be used to remove the existing driver and then start again installing the new driver. I had one of the earlier versions of the card that used broadcom chipsets myself and had a hell of a time getting 64 bit drivers for it. Dean Genius-almost. I used ndisgtk to remove the old driver and install this one. sudo depmode -a sudo Modprobe ndiswrapper Start wireless networking and choose my NETGEAR, and IT WORKED Stop wireless choose my home network with WPA Personal, and it comes up with a big screen of Security choices, but none that match what I have. Basically 'WPA and WPA2 Enterprise' or Dynamic WEP to start with, and under the WPA selection 6 other choices, starting ith the type of authentication.

If it is any consolation it seems you are not the only one having the same difficulties with this card. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1412364 It might be worth trying to configure the network manually. Not sure how much use this will be for you though as it is quite old. http://tillamookrage.blogspot.co.uk/2007/11/getting-wpa-psk-wireless-working-in.html Oh, found this info too: This driver works with WPA (wpa supplicant - use wext instead of ndiswrapper as driver-parameter like this: wpa_supplicant -iwlan0 -c /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf -D wext -B) tested on a OpenSuse 10.3 System. Hope it helps. Dean I seem to remember using WiCD as a GUI for managing networks as it allowed me to easily choose wext for the wifi card.
