Re: Linux Wireless Card Problems
Since you said you're dual booting anyway, why not search out and grab the installed drivers from your Windows partition? Device Manager should tell you what the files are called (and possibly even where they are).

If you're getting an interface that looks really like Windows 95 perhaps you're using KDE 2 instead of KDE 3? (I'm not sure on the versions that come with Debian; but, if that's the case and it's possible it would be good to upgrade to a newer version of KDE). There's updated KDE packages for Debian available from 3rd party sources, too, if you feel like going past whatever version is in the official Debian repository.
