I have also tried netcardconfig ending in the following:

ip address for eth0 192.168.0.2
network mask 255.255.255.0
broadcast address 192.168.0.2 (I'm not sure about this one)
default gateway 192.168.0.1
nameserver(s) 192.168.0.1 (I was iffy on this one also)

ESSID 802.11b
NWID (cell identifier) null
mode Managed
channel number null
frequency null
encryption key ******************
additional parameters --null for all

I have also tried "pump -i eth0" which ended in "operation failed"

My card is being detected (after looking at lspci -v)

There is a good chance that I have inputted something wrong, if not since I am using PCI, the Windows update issue might be what is hindering me.

Any ideas?
