OK, ladies and gents (and those who don’t want to be classified as either):
Over the weekend, I downloaded and did default installs of 6 flavors of Linux onto the new drive I received on Friday. Linspire seems to have been the only Linux that, by default, found and loaded a driver for my Xterasys 802.11b wireless network card.
Being as I haven’t messed with Linux in about 6-7 years, I can’t remember a lot about the OS. Plus, now it’s GUI and all I remember is command-line interfaces.
Do most Linux distros have a tool now to load a driver, or do I need to do this manually still? I know that I saw an interface for loading drivers for a device, but I didn’t see the appropriate one for mine in the list and I didn’t see an equivalent to the Microsloth “Browse” button.
