Join the club.

I'm running Mandrake 10.1 on my HP ze4901us laptop, but cannot get my
Belkin (bcm94306) nor RealTek (rtl8239 using 8139too module) to work!
I've also used the ndiswrapper for the wireless driver, but it only
lights up the card - no connection. The 8139too only gets me to ping,
but no connection either.

ifconfig shows the devices, netstat and arp indicate their presence
too, yet nothing happens!

And another thing! When I unplug the wireless PCMCIA from the laptop
-- Liunx hangs! (I've never seen that happen with Windows/XP!)

I am running WPA-PSK under Windows.

Please keep me informed of your progress...
