It doesn't matter what the laptop is... you have to know *exactly* which wireless card is built into the laptop. Then you have to find a Linux distro that supports *that exact* card. Of course, if you have PCMCIA slots in the laptop (I would be surprised if you didn't) you can just pick up a cheap, Linux-supported card, and shove it in the slot. You will still probably have to do some configuring, even with a compatible card, to use the connection, though... just Google for setup, the card name, and Linux. -- -wittig http://www.robertwittig.com/ http://robertwittig.net/ http://robertwittig.org/ .
