Linux Driver for a Wireless Card on a Sony PCG-GRT896HP

[u104741]

I have just dumped windows in favour of Suse Linux 10.0.

i decided to install it on the above laptop to see how it went. On the whole all seems well but I cant get it to run the in-built Wirelss capability. Does anyone have any ideas how I can get it to work / where I can get a driver from??

cheers,
jj

This person apparently got the WiFi card on his Viao to work using the madwifi drivers. If that fails, you can always look at the output of the lspci command to find the chipset of your card and see if it can be made to work using ndiswrapper.

Thanks AdaHacker,

I did discover the ndiswrapper and it seems to have done the trick although the internal card does not start up stright away on boot... so i still have some work to do.
