First, here is the URL for the ndiswrapper how-to: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=340689&highlight=broadcom+4306 But note that it is for Ubuntu Edgy, which is a Debian based distro. You could follow the same instructions word for word if you were using any other Debian based distro, but Gentoo is RPM based. If you had more experience you could "translate" the Debian parts to RPM-ese, but with only two weeks experience in Linux it might be challenging for you. I would suggest instead that you download the Ubuntu live/install CD for Feisty beta. The final should be released in just a few days, so the beta is very stable. The live/install CD cannot write to your hard disk until you click on the big "install" icon on the desktop. The idea is that you can run the entire OS from the CD to give it a try. You can get Feisty here: http://www.ubuntu.com/testing Ack! I just went there and discovered that they have removed it! The reason is that the final is due any day now. That being the case, I would suggest you open the above link and keep refreshing the page a couple times a day until it shows that the final is available. Or if you are in a hurry you can probably find the beta on various mirrors if you just google on "feisty beta." Ubuntu is a lot easier for beginners that Gentoo or just about any other distro. I strongly suggest you give it a try, especially Feisty. Feisty is supposed to be the most user-firendly and easiest to configure version of Linux ever created. _______________________________________________ LinuxR3000 mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pcxperience.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/linuxr3000 Wiki at http://prinsig.se/weekee/
