Hello, I am currently using ubuntu 8.10 and reading the guide on how to configure ndiswrapper to my wireless card, found at this link https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/Ndiswrapper

I am up to 3.3 downloading windows wireless drivers. But, the list link where i would find what my card driver is, the site has been moved.

When i type lspci and lspic -n it comes up with this: 02:00.0 0200: 168c:001c (rev 01).

So can someone please help me and find the windows wireless driver for these specifications it would be very helpful and please give me then link to download it from :p

Thank you in advance.:)

What wireless card are u using ? Find out first and download the XP driver. Then - if not done so yet - install ndiswrapper, you can do so from yr. ISO disk or USB stick.
