Is this now a proper thread on its own ?
I did install ndiswrapper, and the power on light came on but I did not see the wlan0 in the network configuration so I could enter the static IP address I use for this card. I am goign to continue messign with it and see if I can see it and configure it ....
Thanks for the pointers ....

I got core 3 and installed it, but of course it does not recognize my Morotola wireless card ! What a surprise :)
I found out on google that I could probably use ndiswrapper, and the .inf
file from the windows XP installation cd for the card, but could not get it
to work. Of course I can't, I do not know much about linux at all, have no
idea where to tar the ndiswrapper, how make file works etc etc. I do know
the theory, but that is all ....
Can somebody help me get my wireless card working please so I can switch over to Fedora and start learning ? I am hunting for a linux for total morons book for people like myself in the meantime. But that book is not going to help me get that card working ...
Thanks for your time, if you can help me ....
A few tips when posting to this list:
1. Don't hijack threads, i.e. don't reply to a totally unrelated thread and enter a new subject line and body. This will make your message turn up in the middle of that thread and annoy someone, while others will completely miss it. Compose a new message and send it to the list address.
2. Make the topic meaningful. "HEEEEEEEEEEEEELPPP!!!!!!!!!!" is not. This is a high volume mailinglist and most people will gladly skip such messages. "Motoral wireless card trouble" is a lot better, and will catch the eye of others with the same problem, or a solution.
Not meaning to sound harsh, it's just easier for you to get through this way.
