Wireless Network Card
 |
I am familiar with the different linux distros (mandrake,gentoo,knoppix,slax etc) but sadly it has been hard for me to use them as my wireless network card has got in the way. Basically I want to know what distro is most wireless friendly and I want a livecd (for now) and want to know a good place to find drivers for my card. Ty in advance 
You need to give us the exact make/model/version # of your wireless card.

Hi,
If the wireless card is not directly supported by Linux, you can try a solution using the windows driver and a product called ndiswrapper. It is found on sourceforge. This is how I got the DLINK to work with Fedora Core 3.
