See also the reply from Grant Sewell. I don't remember too well what I
did but if you go to the Madwifi site http://madwifi.org you'll find a
download section and howtos and everything you need. The networking
tools like iwconfig are still useful. ndiswrapper is a quite different
way of using a wireless adapter; you install ndiswrapper and then the
Windows driver off the Windows disk if you have one. The device
manager will tell you the name of the driver. This should be a
reliable way of getting any adapter to work but I have never tried
it. I am sure someone has and can give you some tips. Good luck.
