of the hundreds of messages I've scoured thru to find some info and pointers, this is one of my favorites--
http://answers.yahoo.com/question/in...8121540AAyaG0r
it starts with, "I want to access to a wireless connection in a PC with linux (ubuntu 10.04). But I can't find any connection."
Rickie answers with, "Weeks after weeks ppl keep asking this question. The answer is because you are using a free linux that mostly relies on opensource technology and insanely restrictive laws in the USA do not allow to integrate proprietary drivers in
open source technology.
Ubuntu is a cute little linux but a nightmare for ppl using wifi, forget about installing the drivers yourself unless you are a programmer".
then Alessandro T gives a pointer to the Ubuntu Forums and some links for programmers like,
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wi...er/Ndiswrapper
good luck.
