Hi, Chooch, I would like to help you making wireless work. 1. Please provide the output of "/usr/X11/bin/scanpci -v" here. So that we know the exact wlan module in your laptop. 2. Please read ndis page first to get the ndiswrapper1.1 installation instructions, if you have a broadcom wlan module. 3. If you are sure your wlan module is the same with one of device listed on ndia page, try the linked WinXP driver first.
