Hi, Figured out the problem after checking out the ndiswrapper site. The dell 5100's do not turn on the radio part of the card until you press Fn-F2. Amazing how one keystroke can make all the difference. Chris Kacoroski wrote: Well, I went to the library tonight and the card would not work un

Hi, Now that I have it working on the 5100, I have a question about what I am seeing in wavemon. With a dell 1150 and drivers native to debian, I get a link quality of about 25/92, signal is about 30% of the bar and red, and I get both noise and a signal to noise ratio. I also have a dell 1300

Touchpad functionality dissappeared for no apparent reason!

2004-09-27 Thread Sebastian Tennant
Until recently, my Dell Latitude L400 touchpad was being happily detected by my Linux kernel (2.6.7) at bootup, and was working fine in X, but then mysteriously dissapeared? I suspect a blundering apt-get install of udev which appeared to erase /dev/fd0. However, I was able to recreate /dev/fd0 b
