The computer I'm posting from is a Dell Dimension 4600 w/ an Pentium 4, 2.6 ghz & hyperthreading. I'm posting this from XP but I'm dual-booting with Ubuntu 5.10. The adapter works fine on Ubuntu. Ubuntu's kernel is 2.6.12 and DSL's is 2.4.26. The chipset for the adapter is, according to http://www.linux-wlan.org/docs/wlan_adapters.html.gz, is a Prism GT. It's a USB adapter (Linksys WUSB54GV2), and I've got it to work fine under Linux before. I configure it to use DHCP, and I have no WEP key. Basically I just install the driver and configure it either with a graphical program (such as the network configuration in Ubuntu) or iwconfig. I'm using DSL 1.2. I don't know how to find the version number of ndiswrapper, so if you know how, let me know. I've heard of other people having this problem, so I know I'm not the only one. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Eric "Shubes"" To: "Main PLUG discussion list" Sent: Friday, January 27, 2006 12:05 PM Subject: Re: Ndiswrapper problems > Cat wrote: >> I've just installed Damn Small Linux on an old emachines computer. 334 >> Mhz, 32 megs of RAM and a 3.2 gig hard drive.
