[Wylug-help] wireless lan assistance

[Scott Hodgson]

Hi
I have had similar problems with network cards on my laptop.  In my 
personal opinion - far be it from being expert - I believe the problems 
with a laptop network card may actually be the PCMCIA drivers.  My 
reasoning for this being I have bought cards for the PCI bus on a 
desktop and the same card/chipset for PCMCIA and have had them run 
easily on PCI but encountered numerous problems on PCMCIA.  I know this 
doesn't directly help you , but I may be put correct on this subject or 
maybe someone can help us both.

I have tried several avenues to resolve the driver problem, but not being very computer literate, and completely Linux illiterate, the advice may as well be written in chinese.
