hi

I have recently acquired a witless network card, but really really cant figure it out one little bit!! I have read through http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Wireless , but can't figure out what driver I should be using for my card. the output of lspci | grep -i is;

00:09.0 Ethernet controller: Marvell Technology Group Ltd. 88x8335 [Liberta02.11b/g Wireless (rev 03)
00:10.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL-8139/8139C9C+ (rev 10)

I have changed (eth0) to (eth0 wlan0) in my rc.conf file in network section, but i am completely lost.

Any help would be much appreciated

thanks

Sounds like ndiswrapper for you: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiD … FDevice%29

from this page: http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Drivers/libertas

it seems your specific card might not be supported natively, your best bet is probably ndiswrapper:
