No time for posting I’m too busy monkeying around with a distro of Linux, Ubuntu 8.10. I’m in for some serious fun as it doesn’t recognize the wireless card in the Dell laptop I’m installing it on.
Back to the command line in a terminal window (those weren’t the days), Step 1 get and install some drivers:
sudo apt-get install cabextract
wget ftp://ftp.compaq.com/pub/softpaq/sp34001-34500/sp34152.exe
cabextract sp34152.exe
At first it didn’t install because it didn’t recognize the command ‘cabextract’. When I got that working I couldn’t complete step 2:
sudo ndiswrapper -i bcmwl5.inf
Didn’t recognize ‘ndiswrapper.’ I did discover that it will connect to the internet if I plug in the cat5 cable straight from the router. Tomorrow I’ll figure out this wrapper thing.
