Driverloader (www.linuxant.com/driverloader) is exactly the same technology as ndiswrapper but is perhaps easier to play with. They charge $20 for a licence but it's easy to see if it works at all during the 1-month free trial (and then convert to ndiswrapper!) The above menthods were the only way I could get a Buffalo 54g PCMCIA card going on my laptop. Brian Starlink development wrote on : > Mark, > > Is it a 54g wireless card?
