Hello; I have an Atheros pci-x 802.11 wireless card in my Asus EEEpc laptop and there is no driver available for the card! Does anyone have some links and resources pertaining to driver/packet driver development for DOS? I'm not looking for a quick fix, but a project!

Hello Mateusz and Alex, Thank you both for your very quick response on the question of using QBasic on my XP. However, I am somewhat computer ignorant and need to know the specifics on how this can be done. What do I download or buy or get through my email or phone? Mel Melvin M. Friedlander

Just copy the qbasic.exe interpreter anywhere in your Windows XP computer, for example on the desktop. For running it just double click on qbasic.exe and off it goes. Windows XP has NTVDM (New Technology Virtual DOS Machine) that can run a lot of DOS programs, including Qbasic. There is no
