Linksys wec600n expresscard and HP

[Kernska]

I am entirely new to Linux/Ubuntu. After an XP crash last week I made the switch, and so far everything is great.

I have a HP dv6000us laptop, and cannot get my Linksys wec600n wireless card to work. I have installed the drivers from the Linksys website via ndisgtk and ndiswrapper. In system/administration/"windows wireless drivers" the linksys driver appears, but it says that the hardware is not present.

Now, do I have a problem with the Linksys hardware/driver, or is it a hardware/driver problem with the HP (in that there are missing drivers for the expresscard slot)??

I read that expresscards are new, and not yet fully integrated into Linux. If I'm SOL, what would be a supported, easy-set-up external WLAN adapter to substitute my Linksys?

Any help is appreciated, and I'm glad to finally be part of the Linux community.

Thanks,
-Keith

So I found the nice list of adapters in the wireless forum. Wec600n is not in there. Oh well, I'll just pick up one of the working adapters from the list.

Thanks,
