The drivers that i used with ndiswrapper were the ones provided with the Laptop.. But i think i'll take your word for it and find the newer drivers and then see if it works.. 4320 is a AMD x2 64-bit.. Thanks.. It would also be nice if you posted the entire procedure.. -- Jay "Impossible Is Nothing" http://www.amonks.in
