I have a USB wireless card that is a zd1211rw. It does not seem to function.
I installed wicd, which said that it could find no wireless networks, then
remembered that this system appears to have a functioning Network Manager (I
didn't know that there was such a thing!) and hastily uninstalled wicd.
Help! What do I do?? I have not much experience of wireless, none of having
a problem when the relevant module is loaded!
Some hopefullty relevant information:
