| | Well, I recently decided to switch over all my PC's to linux, and was stumped when I tried to convert one of my laptops. It has a Dell Wireless 1370 wireless networking mini-pci card, based on a broadcom chip. I tried to find a driver on the internet, to no avail. I found NDISWrapper, but despite my knowledge of how to set up a web server on linux, I couldn't work out how to use it. I found a graphic tool, but it was commercial, which ruined any use for me. I was wondering if anyone here knew a free tool that would automatically set it up.
A few other things: my distro is Ubuntu 7.10, my wireless network has WPA encryption, assume I know nothing about linux when replying, and I could also use a netgear wg111 USB wireless adapter if that is easier to set up. |

Thanks for that, should've looked a bit more, haha. I'm posting this on Linux right now, and to go a bit offtopic, when installing I accidentally deleted windows (it seems) but I'm able to do so much on linux that I don't care.

Which Linux Version For Newbies?
Give your opinion (13) Hi, well i have been a windows user all my life, and I'm really satisfied with it. But from a

My Review And Experiance Of Ubuntu Linux

install it, as there was much hassle when I attempted to install my BCM43xx wireless network drivers
for another distro, Suse. Although I had ran a server on Linux for a while previously, it was easy
to do as Linux automatically detected the wireless network card I was using. This was on an older
computer that I ran the server. On my current pc, a Dell Inspiron 1300 Laptop, a ....

with. Personally I think Linux could become the dominant OS, but many, many years from now.....

Help, My Laptop Charger Is Not Working Properly

it works fine. I think that something is pushing back (in the laptop) and causing the connections
not to touch. I would fix it myself, but I would have to take a lot of my laptop apart just to fix
it. I do not feel comfortable doing that myself. My questions are: What is your suggestion to
fix this? Has anyone else experienced this problem? If I took it to someone, ho....

What Made You Switch To Linux?
(60) I first tried Linux a few years ago, not because I was completely against Windows or anything like
that, but just because I had some free time on my hands. I started off with Mandrake 9.0 which was
very user friendly and Windows-like. After reading through a bunch of message boards and learning
which distros are good for what, I soon realized my current distro was great for Linux noobs. So
then I decided to try something a little more advanced like Slackware which I knew had a steep
learning curve. Since then I've been using Slackware as my main OS and couldn'....

improvements in being able to play windows games smoothly on linux? If so, please let me....

problems. Logan (Deathbringer) helped me get it working again...sortof. What he told me to do was to
uninstall the previous nVIDA drivers and use a driver cleaner to erase everything the uninstaller
did not. It made sense, then i was to put the Radeon card in, start in safe mode and uninstall the
Radeon drivers and clean off all the ATI drivers using the DC again. I restart....
