I tried Linuxant, loaded up the inf and sys files and it still said can't
find the device?
I have tried installing Atmelwlandriver as recommended from
http://x.unix.se/stuff/inspiron4k.xml nothing seems to get it working on my
X21.
Here is the output, I hope I have done it correctly. I am still think it is
something to do with the graphic card crashing with the Wireless card; may
be I should get a Dell CF Wifi card?
Many thanks in advance!
