Do you have an ethernet connection in the back of your computer? Some machines have a network adapter on the motherboard. This is better than using USB.

I don't have an Ethernet card of any kind. I have looked in the Gentoo kernel modules, and found no driver for Belkin. To be honest, I'm a bit worried about installing because I'll destroy the home network, to which my computer is the gateway. That's why I initially wanted to install Linux on my laptop, whose internet connection I can control. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Alex Snow" <alex_snow@xxxxxxx> To: "Speakup is a screen review system for Linux." <speakup at braille.uwo.ca> Sent: Saturday, November 06, 2004 9:42 AM Subject: Re: routers that are accessible > wireless adapters and linux can be anoying sometimes. does your card > have linux drivers? if not then grab ndiswrapper from > http://ndiswrapper.sourceforge.net and use it to install the windows > ndis drivers for your card.
