wireless for linux

tosch

I recently got broadband from eircom and have a Netopia 3347WG ADSL Gateway and a Netopia 3D wireless card for my laptop.

It all works fine for windows but when I installed linux the wireless card doesnt work. Does anyone now of a driver that can be downloaded so the card would work for linux or alternatively where to get a linux wireless card that will work on the Netopia 3347WG that supports standard 802.11b/g. Ive already tried Netopia and they dont do cards for linux.

If anyone could give me any advice Id appreciate it.

This is what you need if your card isnt supported natively:

If you're considering a different card, get one with an Atheros chipset, so you can use the madwifi driver - it's a bit bleeding edge, but works very well, and it's under constant development. For 11a/g under Linux, it's the only way to go, IMO.

I couldnt get the ndiswrapper working, I probably set it up wrong but I got it working installing this driver and following the readme.
