I used the NDISWrapper http://ndiswrapper.sourceforge.net/ to get a Linksys card going on Sarge. Although I was unable to get the WEP settings running.

Probably not Intel Centrino then :(Hello,
A few hours ago, I have installed Debian Testing on a friend's laptop. The laptop came with Windows XP, and we agreed to make a dual boot of both. Most things work in Debian. There are a few problems, but by far the biggest and most important is the fact that it does not work at *all* with wireless networks. Unfortunately, neither I nor him know almost anything about the computer. We know that it has an AMD processor, and that's about it.
I know that it is really difficult to help not knowing even what wireless card he has, but could someone at least point me in the right direction? I suspect that a driver and/or kernel module is not installed or is not being started.
Boot Knoppix / Ubuntu live CD - see what they report. dmesg | less will capture some of the stuff that scrolls off the screen as the machine is booting. lspci - then google for ID's.
HTH,
Andy
