Installed XP Pro 64 and ethernet controller does not work and of course I can't get on the net.?
Q. Also, I have a Linksys WMP54G adapter and since I can't get on the net with that computer I can't download any drivers if there are any?
I have used my laptop to get drivers that were suppose to work and have not. I even took the suggestion from the net and bought a Belkin and it has problems with the 64 system? I might just give up and put my 32 back on!

A. Welcome to 64 bit Microsloft land. You'll need to get on the Web with another computer and download the 64 bit driver from the manufacturer of your motheboard or NIC, if they are available. Which NIC are you using and is it onboard or an add in card?


How do I use my WI-FI card with my Ubuntu Linux laptop computer?
Q. I am using Ubuntu Linux version 6.06 Dapper Drake and I have a Linksys type WIFI card. I have drivers for Redhat linux and Windows but I still cannot get it to work with Ubuntu. I have spent enough hours on this and I finally decided to ask here. Ideas?

A. I use Linksys WMP54GS cards on my Ubuntu boxes - and have to use ndiswrapper and the Windows driver. I never found a native driver for the card that worked in Ubuntu.


Where do I download a driver for a wireless adapter?
Q. I recently had to restore my computer to th default settings due to a Virus, and am on a Laptop currently. I have a Wireless-G PCI Adapter
(WMP54G), and it is installed on my PC, BUT i restored the computer, like I said, and I cant use the Wireless adapter because the driver was uninstalled. I was wondering of any sites to download a new driver, or how i can get a file to make the adapter work. Thank you!

A. Linksys has the drivers for download. The WMP54G is at http://www.linksysbycisco.com/US/en/support/WMP54G/download (enter your version number and go from there).
