willie Posted October 17, 2009 Share Posted October 17, 2009 In the MandrivaControlCenter (MCC) you can configure the w-lan. If there are native driver you can use them, otherwise you can use the windows driver (*.inf and *.sys) with ndiswrapper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest sk8trf69 Posted October 17, 2009 Share Posted October 17, 2009 Sorry im kind of new to all of this so is there anyway you can explain in a little more in depth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willie Posted October 17, 2009 Share Posted October 17, 2009 Go to the startmenu, then tools/systemtools/configure your computer there you'll find a option internet. Try to configure your wireless there. If the only option is ndiswrapper choose that, al you need then are the drivers from windows. Sorry if i'm a bit short now, but i've to go for ballroom dancing practice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
