Need Driver for 2-Wire Wireless Adapter for 10.1

[rhogskin]

I am installing Mandrake 10.1 on a computer built from parts. The motherboard is Dell. I am trying to install a 2-Wire PMCIA Wireless Adapter using a PCI adapter card. Numbers from the card: 02UT47333664, T/N 2B802825, P/N 019461/D.

I have used this same adapter on a IBM T-20 laptop with this same OS, so I know it can work.

Can you post the output of

lspci

That'll tell us the chipset your wireless card uses, and therefore what driver you need.

lspci does not recognize that an adapter is connected. I tried 2 different adapters, the 2-wire PCMIA mentioned previously and a D-Link DWL-G120 (USB).

I think the problem with the 2-wire may be a connection issue.

The D-Link showed up (as Unknown) when doing a hardware search in Configuration mode.

I think I might have a shot at getting the D-Link to work, since the system at least recongizes that it is there.

I think you're probably right - unfortunately I kinda suck at hardware, so I wont be able to help on that.

Righto - the only thing to add at this point is that if something's connected by usb, you don't use the "lspci" command - you might be able to guess that instead, it's
