The NDISWrapper project at http://ndiswrapper.sourceforge.net/ is a wrapper that allows the kernel to use the Windows drivers for a number of un-supported wireless chipsets. See the list of supported chipsets at http://ndiswrapper.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php/List to see if yours is supported. The standard Mandrake kernel comes with the NDISwrapper driver already complied in (on 10.1, it's v0.9), and you will also need to install the additional ndiswrapper package for the config tools. You need to manually configure everything, as it is not yet supported in the drakconnect wizard. Hopefully by the 10.2 release, Mandrake will have added ndiswrapper support to drakconnect to automate the whole process. If you need WPA encryption, then you will need to manually compile and install a more recent version, as well as WPA Supplicant. Hope this helps. John.

I had to use ndiswrapper to wrap the Window's drivers for the 94306 chipset (PCMCIA) in MDK 10.0 and 10.1. Brandon Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

After installing 10.1ce, it recognised the NIC and 1394 card but not the Broadcom WLAN. Here's a few links you can look at. I'll let you know whatever else I find out. http://www.linux-on-laptops.com/hp.html http://linux.derkeiler.com/Newsgroups/alt.os.linux.suse/2003-09/1035.html Good Luck, Sevatio Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?
