Comments on: Latitude C600 Debian Linux http://www.lizardking.biz/2009/03/latitude-c600-debian-linux/ for keeping track of my digital experiments Fri, 03 Sep 2010 16:37:07 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.1 By: jzerbe http://www.lizardking.biz/2009/03/latitude-c600-debian-linux/comment-page-1/#comment-514 jzerbe Wed, 09 Dec 2009 19:06:13 +0000 http://www.lizardking.biz/?p=479#comment-514 No, I'm not about to create a step-by-step guide for you to follow because there are so many things that could be different. If you really want to get into hacking together wireless drivers, I suggest you spend the time yourself. That said, I will be glad to give you some general pointers. I decided I'd keep this public in case other people have similar issues. Edit: Fixed the broken ACX project link thanks to Talbert.

I am running ubuntu 9.04. It finds the card but will not connect. (I assume I need ndiswrapper.) I can't get to the instructions you referenced in your post. I am a new ubuntu user so you have to go step-by-step with the how-to. Thanks so much @jzerbe

1) be sure you have a deb-src entry for volatile, security, and your main repo
2) apt-get install module-assistant ndiswrapper-utils-1.9
3) m-a a-i ndiswrapper
4) if you already have a working X11 environment I suggest using “ndisgtk” –> apt-get install ndisgtk
alternatively you can install the windows driver by hand: ndiswrapper -i .inf, and check to make sure the driver installed: ndiswrapper -l
5) you can now use wicd to play around with the wireless interface
