Welcome to TSF!!

Hi,

I haven't done that much with DSL myself, but I might try downloading and installing ndiswrapper. This is a program that allows you to install the windows drivers in linux. Most of the time it works.

Let us know if you have any problems with the install.

Cheers!

I have NDIS and the Driver is loaded. See it works when I am connected to Ethernet but not when I try to go Wi-Fi it dies. Its like I need to force it to go Wi-Fi.
