i am a linux newbie having trouble getting my wireless stuff to work.
i am running debian on a toshiba satellite laptop. the wireless card
is a d-link dwl-g650. i am looking for info on the latest debian
methods for dealing with this technology.
Look at
http://ndiswrapper.sourceforge.net/mediawiki/index.php/InstallDebianSarge.
Should also work fine for Etch/Sid.
Chris.
He's not on sarge, he's on etch (Testing). And his card doesn't need
ndiswrapper, there's a native Linux driver for it (madwifi). The problem
is that for some reason he can't get it to compile using etch's gcc.
Tom (Original Poster) -- I suggest you post a question to the home site
of the Madwifi driver and ask if there's a different version for etch.
They are very debian-friendly there so they'll know what you are talking
about. If you tell them what version of gcc you are using and explain
where you got the driver source from, they'll probably be able to help
you out very quickly. Sorry I couldn't be more help. If you get this
sorted -- please let me know what the solution was in the end.
Also, it might be worth a look at this:
