This probably won't be a popular response, but I'm going to offer it anyways. It sounds like you're really intimidated by the possibility of getting your hands dirty in Linux. If this is the case, I suggest you a) find someone who can help you with your drivers, or b) return the USB adapter for a PCI (or pcmcia) version with less "excitement" involved in the install process. The MA111 is supported by the linux-wlan drivers, but they're not going to be trivial for a newbie to install. Most of the first links I found on Google regarding that card all mentioned difficulties in getting the card up and running. Yes, we could probably give you assistance, but there's a high probability that you'll run into a wall, we won't be able to help you properly, you'll get frustrated, etc. Just my $0.02. -- Jason Dixon, RHCE DixonGroup Consulting http://www.dixongroup.net
