I was going to post this on the new board but I like this forum so much better...
I would like to try and get my Realtek PCMCIA card working with linux the model number is ENPWI-G....

Here is the response from the codes....

Hi rjm65

I don't think any of these commands you posted will help with this as your wireless card is neither PCI or USB, you could try installing pcmciautils
then and see what the output is






Good luck





Graeme

Here is the output... thanks...

I did like it said above doing an lspci for more info...

After looking around the web it seems that there's no Linux native drivers for adapters with that ID string (11ab:1faa).

Your only option is to use ndiswrapper/ndiswrapper-gtk and load the Windows drivers .. see here:
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiD ... r_WG311_v3

Thank you for trying, but after looking at that page it seems it is much easier for me to pull the card out, and put the working card back in....
I was just hoping it could be used, I have 3 of them on the shelf, and it would have been nice to still use them...
but that page seems like it would take a long time to figure it out.... thanks again....

That page goes into a lot of detail for manually adding the windows drivers through ndiswrapper.

There's a GUI front end for ndiswrapper that makes it VERY easy .. ndiswrapper-gtk

Let me know if you want help...
