I am running Knoppix 3.6 on a Dell latitude and am trying to get wireless networking running with either one of two cards:

A DLink DWL-650+ and/or an EDIMAX EW-7106PC

Neither of these cards was recognised by Knoppix so I decided to try with NDISwrapper. For this I did the following ...

1. I unzipped the windows drivers to a mounted drive
2. I started NDISWrapper and located/selected the *.inf files
3. I got the following error message ...

ERROR: The selected file is no *.inf file or the *.inf file is invalid, exiting.

... for both of the adaptors.

Can anyone help me with this? Is the message normal? Or should I be handling the files differenctly in some way? Or are both these adaptors not supported?

Any tips or pointers to good 'HOWTOs' would be very gratefully received.

Many thanks,
Alan Searle.
