    im trying to set up a wireless network pci card i just got given on my mandriva box. im using powerpack edition 2008 with a belkin router.

    when i try the wireless set up in configure your computer it tells me to use the windows driver (which i had to downl;oad) with ndiswrapper?

    when i try this i get this error

    Some components (firmware) are required but aren't available for ndiswrapper hardware. Firmware files are required for this device.

     

    The required files can also be installed from this URL:

    http://ndiswrapper.sourceforge.net/mediawiki/index.php/List

     

    i dont understand this as i updated ndiswrapper through install software?

    did a google for linux drivers for this card and was told to get the following driver

    acx-mac80211-vlynq-20071006.tar.bz2

    unpacked it through konsole and cd into file and cant get any further as it says no such file or directory when i type ./configure

    read the readme file in the folder and its so confusing i thought i was working for NASA

     

    any help here with simplified instructions please :wall:

  18. powerpack re-install

    in Installing Mandriva

    Posted

    Delete, or just don't copy the CD/DVD media to the hard disk. You don't need to do this. If you don't do it, it just means when it needs some files from your CD/DVD it will ask you to enter the disk instead of copying it from the hard disk like it was doing before.

     

     

    thanks mate, ive always copied the whole cds, as thought this was the best way

    il do it your way when i do the re-install

    thanks again
