Network Card Troubles

[Husse]

Does not look promising
In a terminal run
lspci
or
lspcmcia
look for the cards and find their "bus id"
Google for that and Linux or Gutsy or Daryna

[Husse]

then add Elyssa or Hardy to the search pattern

[Husse]

Which laptop?
And post your lspci preferably in a "Code box"

[Husse]

This is a 10 year old computer (or so)
On the other hand
Texas Instruments PCI1450
is a rather common device
Did not find anything for Linux...

[Husse]

Ok, can I buy a new card that is "Daryna Friendly" ?

Absolutely - check the wiki
