Hi Llew,

If you have the Windows XP driver then it will probably work with
ndiswrapper under Linux is there is no native driver.
If you know the code on the main chip on the device I can check to see
if Ubuntu has a compatible driver without the use of ndiswrapper.

Regards
Andrew

richest businessman: 'Can you make a list of things you won't be
doing? ... I just want a little piece of something to pass on to my kids
20 years from now.'" - San Jose Mercury News, 26 Oct 97
