ianw1974 Posted November 24, 2005 Report Share Posted November 24, 2005 I've checked for compatibility and your card is listed here: http://wwwnew.mandriva.com/hardware/tests?id=976452 It should be just a case of going into HardDrake selecting the card and then the Run Config option and following the screens through.

michaelz92 Posted November 25, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 25, 2005 i understand its compatible, but i simply cannot find the driver for it on the list. I can't get into my windows partition through linux so i cannot find it using <the program that does that-forgot the name>....When i find a driver that is atleast compatible w/ the brand(broadcom), i highlight it and click next and then it brings me to the exact same screen i had <where it asked to choose from a list or get one from windows>....im not exactly sure of the problem. any help is appreciated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michaelz92 Posted November 26, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 26, 2005 Nevermind. I got the internet working using Ndiswrapper and the installation cd. Turns out the card wasn't even broadcom. Hm. Ok well thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
