Intel Wifi Link 5100 Half Mini Card - has a working linux driver released by Intel, as was announced on the Linux Kernel Mailing List - http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/8/13/435 The driver should be there in 2.6.27. So the card is expected to work out of the box from Intrepid onwards (I don't have any first hand experience about this card, so cannot confirm). The driver was not there before 2.6.27, hence the card doesn't work out of the box in Hardy. Are you running Intrepid or Hardy on your Dell Studio? BTW, just for curiosity, what happened to your USB modem issue? Did it work? -- Sambit Bikas Pal MS 3rd Year Indian Institute Of Science Education & Research Kolkata, HC 7, Sector-III Salt Lake, Kolkata-700106 Web: http://www.botcyb.org OpenPGP Key: http://keyserver.ubuntu.com:11371/pks/lookup?op=get&search=0x8E57F8B897D372B3 NB: Kindly send mails as "text/plain". -- ubuntu-in mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-in
