I have tried all sorts of USB wireless devices on Linux Suse, Knoppix, Ubuntu for months with no result, it looks like there is no Linux compatible wireless device in the United States. I am not a Linux wizard, I need one to be recognized by Linux and get up and run. I settle for a PCI wirelss card. Does anybody have any hint?Thanks.

Have you used Ndiswrapper to get your wireless card detected?

Thank you for answering. I have tried absolut everything. When I try to use ndiswarapper in the console it doesn't work. As I am not a Linux geek, I don't know what is going on. I have tried 4 USB devices. When it doesn't work, I sell it in eBay and try another one. I am about to give up, or move the router to where the Linux computer is. All distros work fine through ethernet, but not wireless.

Are you putting the drivers for your card on your Linux partition?Not sure what you mean by you've tried 4 USB devices.Ndiswrapper is your friend when it comes to wireless networking. Have you read any tutorials online about it? Or read the man pages for Ndiswrapper?

Yes, I copy the windows driver to tmp or desktop and sign in as root. When I try to use ndiswrapper in the console, it seems I do something wrong and the driver is not installed. Among the tons of information I have read, it says not all windows drivers are fit to work with Linux using ndiswrapper. What I mean trying several USB devices is that I try one, if it doesn't work with Linux I try a different one and discard the first one, if not, a third different one and discard the second one. I am trying the fourth right now after discarding the third one. I think most Linux distros are designed considering that the users know how to use the console. I think Linux has to be designed as user friendly as windows in order to gain terrain.Thank you...
