There is a very fine piece of software called ndisgtk which will give you a nice gui to install the drivers with. You might need a .sys file with the .ini. When you install the driver with ndiswrapper, do ndiswrapper -l l and let us know what it says :-) -Matt Daubney -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.kubuntu.org/UKTeam/
