Re: Who Runs Linux
 
Window are easy every one grew up with it while linux is free new to most people and you need to pretty much be able to learn or know a bit of code farely well to run it. My grandpa is M.O.U.S.E. certified or ( Microsoft Office User Specialist Expert ( weird title )) but I havent talked to hm since I installed Ubuntu. I am now getting a Live boot of Kubuntu and getting cd's for both so I can copy and distribute to friends for hell of it.

Mouse wont help you with anything Linux, its only office. Office = networking? no.... Microsoft = Linux? ... no.

I use Ubuntu and Fedora*spelling at school.

Like someone said already, what kind of card do you have? I know someone who is really good with Linux that I could ask for you.

Look up ndiswrapper. You probably have a broadcom chipset card, which requires you to emulate the windows drivers through ndiswrapper.

i cant get ndiswrapper to run right so when i get back home im going to hook up direct and run ubuntu on there to get packages installed to get things running.

Run "lspci" on the command line. It will still display the card; Ubuntu just doesn't show it anywhere else because it doesn't have the driver.
