Re: [Freedos-user] Packet Driver

Tomdean, I think it should be clear now that it isn't very likely your wireless adapter can be directly controlled from DOS (Free or otherwise). A workable solution would be to boot Windows or Linux on the PC in question and use their wireless card drivers, then boot FreeDOS in a virtual mach

Re: [Freedos-user] Packet Driver

Just tossing in my two cents, but you require the dos driver for the card, and there should be no reason why it will not work in freedos as they do in other editions of dos. I have one in my desktop and another in my laptop running pure dos and using a driver from the card manufacturer, dlink i

I'm using VirtualBox as well. I didn't have any problems with 1.1-test1 but I am unable to format the disk using 1.1-test2. I have tried creating a new virtual machine with an empty hard drive image (same as test1) but it still doesn't work. On Mon, Jul 18, 2011 at 9:46 AM, Bernd Blaauw wrote:

Re: [Freedos-user] Weird UIDE.SYS (FreeDOS 1.1 Test) behavior under VirtualBox

Probably just a bug / flaw in the emulator, no surprise. (They don't test DOS as much, if at all, sadly.) File a bug report with them! Sure, they'll probably ignore it, but if you don't ask, they definitely won't (can't?) fix it!!:-) On 7/18/11, Juan Castro wrote: > > The first line (startin
