Tempestuous-

168C 002E - there's your device ID.

Great. Very useful.

What about this:
download compat-wireless for your kernel version

Yes, that's an entire rebuild of the kernel's wifi drivers, and there's a fair chance of success ...
but the process is complicated, and in order to do it you must install the development libraries (devx) compatible with Puppeee, and you must also install the kernel sources compatible with Puppeee. Apparently these downloads were previously available here -
http://puppeee.com/files/sources/
but that site has been taken down.

I won't attempt it.

how about ndiswrapper to use the WinXP driver? Is that a possible solution?

Sure. Try it.

Okay, I will. Sounds like the only thing that might work.

Thanks!

Mike
