Vaio Wireless Drivers

[Andreas2004]

Hi,
I am new to this forum and to knoppix or Linux also.i am having Sony vaio VGN TZ250N, whose hard disk got crashed. So I started using ubuntu and now knoppix, but now I am facing problem of drivers, like driver of Wireless card and ethernet, driver of bluetooth, finger print sensor, camera, etc. Please tell where I can find them and how to install. I am using external hard disk because internal hard disk for this modelis not available in India.Thanks[/b]

Andreas-

1) You know you can probably put just about any 1.8" ATA drive in there, right? The 100 GB model originally included is not the only one that would work.
2) Drivers - try going to a terminal window (LX Terminal is included in the default icons on the bottom left) and typing lspci to see what's recognized on the PCI bus; another sometimes useful command is lsusb to see what's on the USB.
3) Look on the Sony website for the Windows drivers - they can either be used directly with ndiswrapper or you can use the info there to see what the chipset is and then find the Linux drivers for those chips.

Hope this this helps!
