Re: Acer 5024WLMI and wireless
Hi,
I don't know about PCMCIA wireless cards, but I do have a USB adapter
that I use with a laptop. It's a Belkin DWL-122. I set it up earlier
this month, with a little help from this forum, and the thread should be
here somewhere. Here are two web pages that might help. The first tells
how to set up the card in general, by Julian Coccia, and the second
includes some of my comments about doing it on a 64-bit stock kernel by
compiling the drivers against kernel sources. You don't have to
recompile the kernel (as the first web page tells you to) to get the
card working, as people on this forum pointed out to me. The nice thing
about the USB card is that I can use it on both my laptop and desktop.
Good luck.
