I have a Dell Inspiron 5100 - Pentiun 4 - 2.8 GHz - 1 GB Ram - 40GB hard drive with just Ubuntu. I have benn trying to make this card works. Here are following commands that i have used.
sudo aptitude install ndisgtk
sudo ndisgth
I also, install linux-backports-modules-hardy-generic (using Synaptic package manager)
I checked the wifi manager is radio is enable
The wifi manager does not find anything. I performed a hardware test and i see both cards..Ethernet works fine but wireless does not.
here is the result of command lspci
