I need help getting Trendnet TEW-421PC PCMCIA card to function properly in Linux Mint 9 LXDE before Thursday March 22, 2012

[charles chris]

I have been experimenting with Linux by creating images deployable on
almost anything.

My goal is to resurrect OLD near DEAD PC and Mac hardware with new up to
date software!

Thus the terms, Frank-Intel and Franken-Tosh.

Checkout my short video:

I had too many problems with the Wireless on the HP Omnibook.  It proved to
be unreliable!
So I did what I had suggested to the customer from day 0.

I reduced the repair bill by $20.00 and removed the PCMCIA wireless network
adapter.
