Mandrake Linux 10.1 w/8211 wireless installs

by jck . Updated 21 years, 2 months ago

I am happy to report:

I am typing from Mandrake Linux 10.1 running Mozilla 1.73.

Advice for installs of this type:
1) get the driver source from Infineon (1.79)
2) get NDISWrapper 1.1 (it supports WEP 128)
3) When you decompress both archive files, put them both in the same directory.
4) Use the directions at http://ndiswrapper.sourceforge.net/phpwiki under the Installation section. They are the best I’ve found
5) ENJOY IT! I AM!

I am now a Linux user…and proud to say it. I’ll check my checkbook next Friday (payday) and see if I can send a check to Sourceforge. I believe in supporting the good website with directions.

(I’d give you all money for the help, but I’m poor. Maybe beers later sometime?) 🙂

Thanks again…if anyone’s interested, I’ll log what things I ran into in the process to ease future pains for others. Feedback requested.
