Hi Stewart:<br><br>Thanks for your reply.<br><br>Yes I have the Windows drivers on CD for the Trendnet PCMCIA wireless network card<br><br>I wish Linux was more like Windows in that most things work straight out of the box, especially the installation of device drivers.<br>
<br>While creating images for Linux, I am learning a lot about Linux.<br><br>I have been reading stuff posted to the Ubuntu forums. However, I have NOT tried any of the suggestions yet.<br><br>I have taken notes and will visit freegeektoronto today and let an expert there resolve the issue.<br>
<br>If they cannot resolve the issue then I will put windows on it which I hate to do because this laptop, HP Omnibook 6000 is a Pentium III, 1GHz (I think), Max 512 RAM.<br><br>My image of Windows XP Pro SP2 almost crawls on this hardware.<br>
<br>Linux runs better on low spec computers!<br><br>I also have problem with internal webcam on old macbook pro and I have researched this, found the driver and made notes but have not tried to install it yet. Again I will leave that to experts at FreeGeekToronto. Armed with the drivers and my notes they should be able to resolve the webcam issue also.<br>
<br>Cheers!<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Tue, Mar 20, 2012 at 8:51 PM, Stewart C.

</div>Best bet is ndiswrapper and the Windows driver. Trendnet say there is no<br>
native driver for Linux. Check very carefully the hardware revision,<br>
'cos Trendnet had a habit of keeping the same model number but switching<br>
out the chipset. If you have the driver CD for windows you could well be<br>
sorted.<br>
<br>
I had a PCI 421 that was a Marvell 8000C. Worked like a champ with<br>
ndiswrapper*. Didn't work with 64-bit OSs.<br>
<br>
cheers,<br>

*: as much as ndiswrapper can work. I mean, for user-level network stuff<br>
it worked fine, but I wouldn't have put it in a server.<br>
