Re: [LUG] Netgear WG511T

I'm not certain, but after googling quickly, the Toshiba Satelitte Pro
460cdx is quite an old laptop isn't it (plus I have a satellite
myself!)? And I'm fairly certain it doesn't support 32 bit pc-cards like
your netgear (I'm assuming this is a 32-bit card anyway as it's quite
recent), only 16 bit.

I hope this isn't the case :-( I think you may be able to make sure if
you open a terminal - I'm not sure of the exact procedure in DSL - and
type 'lspci'. It will put some output on the screen and you'll want to
look for a line that starts with "Network Controller:". If that's there
then I think the card should work after finding the correct drivers for
it, so post back here and I'm sure someone will help you out with that!

I hope all this information is correct, someone please correct me if I'm
wrong!
