Chris PS if you have problems extracting the files I can do them and send them off list. Aloha Chris, Thanks for the help. I only have FreeBSD computers here so I havent looked at the CD that came with the Mini. It doesnt say what os it is. It is a HP Mini 1000. In that case you probably want to look for your exact model on this page http://h20180.www2.hp.com/apps/Lookup?h_lang=en&h_cc=us&cc=us&h_page=hpcom&lang=en&h_client=S-A-R163-1&h_pagetype=s-002&h_query=HP+Mini+1000&submit.x=10&submit.y=9 though I checked a few and they all seemed to end up at the same driver so maybe exact model doesn't matter. ndis wants drivers for Windows XP It runs Linux (Ubuntu Debian Hybrid for HP) I am working out of the office today so I will take a look at the suggested links when I get back. ~Al Plant - Honolulu, Hawaii - Phone: 808-284-2740 + http://hawaiidakine.com + http://freebsdinfo.org + + http://aloha50.net - Supporting - FreeBSD 6.* - 7.* - 8.* + < email: n...@hdk5.net > "All that's really worth doing is what we do for others."- Lewis Carrol ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
