Re: wifi WICD fails

Actually, Salix recognized both the windows drivers, but one of the wifi interfaces was unable to catch signals. I dont know why. I noticed that ndiswrapper liked Vista driver, not XP driver. You don't need ndiswrapper or Windows drivers. What you need is NM, it will use your linux drivers and give...

Re: Just completed upgrading

Btw, my problem with the rt2870/3070 chip was that it saw networks in Wicd but was unable to connect to an encrypted network.

Not a man feat, both Ubuntu and Debian never managed this on the same PC, admittedly I haven't tried them on this machine any more since 2009. I went to 13.1...
