-----Original Message----- From: WA9ALS - John [mailto:ham_reflectors@xxxxxxxxxx] I'm trying to use the Linuxant Driverloader on my Dell Latitude D500 with the Intel PROWireless 2100 networking. I installed the driverloader rpm. I ran the drdlconfig program and accepted the defaults. I then surfed to 127.0.0.1:18020, which brought up the Linuxant screen where it first asks for your Windows .inf driver file for the Intel wireless. I navigated to that file, which I had previously stored in my Linux area. I hit the OK button, and it then asked me for the .sys file. I "uploaded" that file, but then I get a msg that the device is not available, maybe unplugged etc. Has anyone else here done this and have any suggestions? The first time I went through this, I got the drivers from Intel. The second time, I checked the actual drivers Windows is currently using, and saved those files to my Linux partition and used those when indicated for the driverloader config. The directions seem straightforward, but I seem to be at a dead-end. <Start Reply> Can you try out ndiswrapper instead. Driverloader is PayWare. Ndiswrapper is OpenSourced and uses the same concept as driverloader. If you really want to spend USD20. I suggest you donate it to the ndiswrapper team. I have a Dell Latitude D600 and ndiswrapper works for my setup. Have a go. (note : use the CVS version. More stability IMHO) I personally did not try driverloader cause 1. It's Payware (I run Linux. One main reason is Cost.) 2. Hassle. I had to download, create a login, get a # to be associate to my WIFI's Mac Address etc.. limited to 30 days (Then What?) 3. I have a PCMCIA Wifi card anyway so I'll wait. My 2 cents. Try it out..
