Nope. Sure DO wish they would tell you the driver needed on the box,
but I guess when the world runs XP, these details are not necessary...

It is made by the vendor "Marvell Technology Group" and I'm clueless as
to which driver to install for this devil.

Any help/experience with this is appreciated.

I think those chips are only supported via ndiswrapper. But more could
be said if you supplied the relevant part of "lspci -n" to see which
exact chip you've got.

lspci:
Ethernet controller: Marvell Technology Group Ltd. 88w8335 [Libertas] 802.11b/g Wireless (rev 03)

Pretty much nails this chip ID... looks like I get to play with ndiswrapper now... least this box's wireless won't
suffer from kernel updates like Madwifi does...

Thanks
