It doesn't say anything on the unit itself but from the fact that its v2.8, I believe it is a Atmel chipset.

And there are no spaces in the names of the directories where the .inf files are located.

It'd be really nice if I could get this to work then I'll jump from Mepis to Knoppix (or Kanotix) and get the Knoppix Hacks book and start playing around more. Thanks again!

Ah, what version of Mepis are you using; and what method? If you are using ndiswrapper in Mepis, the same proceedure should work in Knoppix. I used what I learnt from Knoppix to get Mepis going And now I basically use Mepis because the HD install was/is easy.

I do not know whether you need to run ndiswrapper as root or not; but I would. GNU/Linux logic suggests that this type of thing would be for admins ... Anyway it cannot hurt to give it a try and see what happens.

Let me know what happens, and we'll take it from there. I am confident that we can get it working. Eventually ...

Cheers,
