So unless the mobile settings are double import, Linux users to use the wireless card is not possible. Despite that, unless Windows is not running, or the mobile to connect to a wireless network is also very unlikely. However, many card already has a solution. A program called the ndiswrapper Linux kernel module to allow loaded into some wireless card drivers on Windows. This makes mobile on Linux using the wireless card, even in the absence of the original Linux driver. First of all, to find a copy sourceforge.net ndiswrapper. Download the latest version (0.8), then install, as follows: # tarxvzfndiswrapper-0.8.tar.gz # cdndiswrapper-0.8 # makeinstall this install ndiswrapper tools and different from the currently running kernel kernel module. You must have a valid kernel source code. (For most RPM, you only need to install the "kernel-source" software packages. Next, you need to find the card of the Windows driver copy is already exists in the Windows system (if it is a double import) found in or downloaded driver, are not related. Sourgeforge.net website lists the supported card, and provide a link for you to download Windows drivers. Perform the following operations, install Windows driver: # ndiswrapper-i [inf_file] .inffile (file) is a Windows-driven information file. It put the correct files are installed to/etc/ndiswrapper/[driver]. You can perform the following operation, to verify and ensure consistent with ndiswrapper ndiswrapper. # Ndiswrapper-l this program should list you just installed.
