I would like to have Linux also on my notebook but currently just Windows have drivers for my wireless network card. I've tried Mandriva 2008.1 and it was looking to load drivers from windows partition but with no success Crying or Very Sad

Crying or Very Sad

. Ubuntu also doesn't have drivers for it and i don't have time to search for them on internet, like I'm doing currently for my HP1018 printer

This problem is solved in Mandriva updates since a few months. For Ubuntu you need to solve this in command line.

But well.. how can you to get them without network access... Wink

You have a notebook so I guess Ethernet connexion is possible.

Installing a windows driver is not complicated. Example: in mandriva, control panel, add a new connection, select ndiswrapper, browse to the driver directory and select the file it told you to. That it.

If you know the name of the driver and not the location, fire this command in a terminal:

# find /mnt/windows -iname yourdrivername
