How to install my wireless network card and use it to access the internet on Linux Mandriva?
So all i want to do is to be able to use the internet on my linux operating system – Mandriva. Whenever I go into the ‘hardware’ page, it has my wireless network card there, however, when I try to set up a wireless network connection with it, it is not an option for the hardware to choose from. The only thing it picks up is my onboard wired LAN. I have tried installing with the drivers but it just says ‘there is no device that supports this driver’. What can I do? Plese, I am a newbie at Linux and I need full guided steps. Thanks again

Most wireless cards have no linux drivers supplied (or available), which is why ndiswrapper was written.
Go to http://ndiswrapper.sourceforge.net/joomla/ and start reading. You can get Mandriva help at http://mandrivausers.org/
