ianw1974 Posted May 24, 2006 Report Share Posted May 24, 2006 Click System/Configuration/Hardware/HardDrake. Once in here, find your wireless card and select it. On the right hand side towards the bottom it should show what module it's using. The module is effectively a driver in Linux. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
