Mandriva Powerpack 2007

[mbrandau]

Good evening,

I tried entering that command code as you typed it. I don't know what that straight vertical line is between "lspci" and "grep". Anyway, I tried typing /sbin/lspci and got a response that said "no such file or directory". I tried this under my name and also under root. I tried grep -i net got something back that said my argument was wrong. Tried the whole thing as you had only without the vertical line and got the 1st response as no such file or directory.

Am I doing something wrong?

Thanks,

Mark

I don't think its the right info. Login as root in the terminal and enter

lspci | grep -i net

The symbol between lspci and grep is a pipe. Its usually represented by a straight line (or a line splight in two) on the left hand side of your keyboard, next to the Z key if you use a UK keyboard. If you can't find the symbol, then just run "lspci".

This is everything. Hopefully this will help. I live in the US, we don't have your type of keyboard. But, at one time I do remember seeing those things (pipe) a couple decades ago. I used a semi colon instead. ;

Thanks, Mark

Thats the part I was looking for. I've searched to see if this card is supported in Linux and it doesn't seem like it is. To make it work, you would have to install an app called ndiswrapper and then use your windows drivers. In Mandriva, if you install ndiswrapper from the software installation tool, all you would need to do is configure a network connection from scratch (Mandriva Control Center -> Networking) and choose to create a wireless connection. After that choose to use your windows drivers and point the configuration tool to the location of the drivers.

I'm in Control Center
New connection
Wireless
Select network interface to configure: use windows driver (with ndiswrapper)
Another screen opens (drakconnect)
Use ndiswrapper driver infcach.1 - ok
I get the same response: No device supporting infcach.1 ndiswrapper is present.

It never gives me the option to search for infcach.1 in windows.

This is very frustrating!!

I think you may need to install the firmware as well. To load the firmware, you need to install the bcm43xx-fwcutter package using the software module in the Mandriva Control Center. How exactly you load the firmware, I don't know because my wireless card uses opensource drivers that don't need firmware loading.
