I'm trying to set up a wireless card on an older Thinkpad 380Z. I've found lots of bits and pieces of information in help files and HOW-TOs, but I must be missing some step of the process. Can anyone give an overview of how to set up a wireless pc card? I have Debian "testing" version, kernel 2.4.25-1-386. The wireless card is a Trendnet TEW-226PC cardbus PC card. With the command "lspci -v" I get: 0000:01:00.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8180L 802.11b MAC (rev 20) ... so I know at least something "sees" the card in the slot, and that it appears to use the RTL8180 chip. I've found a driver "ndiswrapper" that's supposed to work with the RTL8180 (at http://ndiswrapper.sourceforge.net/ there's a link to Debian packages). I downloaded the ndiswrapper packages and installed them (though I am beginning to think there is something I've missed here); now with the command "ndiswrapper -l" I get "Installed ndis drivers: net8180". In some of the info pages I look at I see references to "wlan0" device, but I can't find that device in my system ("ifconfig" etc.). That's why I'm not sure if the driver setup is complete. Ah-ha! Maybe this needs to be compiled into the kernel -- if so, how do I do that? The network does work OK with a Linksys Ethernet (wired) card as "eth0". Anyone with any experience with setting up wireless cards? Thanks for any hints!
