man your tutorial rox man. 4 hours of spitting out forums and websites with wrong information and too much blah blah has cost me a lot of frustration.

but your simple steps really not only got my external wifi card working but also my internal wifi as well..

simple and effective. most linux gurus can learn from this explanation. too many are big egos and can not explain a thing….

good work…. now i am happy surfing on my neighbours internet………….

Oops I’m stupid. I missed the fact that you actually linked to them.

The file I linked to is just the files you need, I zipped them up and put them here.

Also it can be a little bit difficult to find the windows drivers online, as the drivers usually come as a big 30 meg setup file, whereas you only need the .cfg and .ini files.

Is there a way to extract these files from the exe without actually installing? Regardless, if you have a windows install with the card you can get the driver files straight from the appropriate system folder.
