Two 7.04 questions...

[PoisonUnagi]

So at the moment my Windows has died and I'm running an old disc of Ubuntu 7.04 until I can get it fixed. I have about an hour's worth of Linux experience, to give you an idea :P

First question is about my wireless card. It's a DLink DWA-140, I've tried looking around for the drivers but I can't seem to find anything. It doesn't come up in the wireless card list either.

Second one's about Wine. I downloaded the latest Wine, and the readme told me to run /tools/wineinstall, I ran that from Nautilus first and nothing happened. When I ran it through Terminal, it told me I was 'missing the wine package'.

Any help with either two problems is appreciated

For the wireless, is that a USB wireless adapter? Plug it in and post the output of

lsusb

For wine, I'm really not sure about installing on such an old Ubuntu. There is this, but no guarantees.

Really, you should update to a current Ubuntu release if at all possible. 7.04 reached end of life almost 3 years ago.

I found it in the lsusb list, here's the line:

Bus 007 Device 004: ID 07d1:3c09 D-Link System

And yeah, it's a USB wireless adapter.

As for Wine, I think I'll ignore it for now. I might come back to that later, thanks for the link anyway :P

The rt2870sta driver should work for you card.
ubuntu_rt2870sta / FrontPage

Whether it builds on 7.04 or not, I don't know.

Otherwise, you may be able to get it working with ndiswrapper and the windows xp or older driver.

Eh, when I ran the 'sudo make' and 'sudo make install' commands, I got these errors:

Aaaaand obviously I have no idea what that means :P
Any ideas for that, or is it just incompatible with 7.04?
