Cant Install Belkin Wireless Network Card On Laptop Running Mandriva Linux 2008

[ant16151189]

hi the only thing that i found so far on the system that might be of relevant is when i go to menu, then tools, system tools, package stats. i then search pci, and i found an rpm package called pciids-0.7-1.20070931mdv2008.0,


is this any good.

i really do need to set up my wireless card to use the internet.

what should i do now, thanks

I have a laptop with a Belkin wireless card and 2008 which works fine but as other have said, you need to know the exact chipset.

u can login as root like this:
on login screen click on Menu a choice Console login.
then write down for username: root
password: [your root password]
and then write down: kde
and hit enter
