I've been experimenting with installing Debian on a laptop
dedicated to experimentation.
The results have been satisfactory enough that when I
discovered it had a very dead battery, I took my general
usage laptop to library (only dial-up available at home).
I've run the live-CD on this machine so I was expecting no
problem. Evidently netinst does not recognize my WiFi
hardware. It runs fine on WinXP and I believe I've connected
via WiFi with one of the collection of live cd's (a Puppy
linux IIRC).
Questions:
1. What is command to identify the WiFi hardware?
2. Once I've identified the required driver, how do I
install it when I can not connect to the internet in first
place ;<
This machine is an IBM Thinkpad T43 (lenovo)
The machine with no problem connecting is a Lenovo Thinkpad
R61 (no IBM logo)
TIA
