Hi, I just installed linux mint 6 xfce today and it runs sweet on my Mpc transport X1000, I have a problem though. I installed my belkin 54g notebook card using it's driver cd and ndiswrapper and the lights are blinking on it, but when I click on the Wicd Manager on the bottom right hand corner it says "no wireless networks found" I am also using ethernet right now but when I used Linux Mint 6 Main Editon it still listed the wireless networks around me. Am I missing something? I use my laptop alot when I travel and really need to get my wireless working, please help!

You probably need to change the preferences to use the correct wireless interface.(wlan0, eth1, etc)
May also need to change the WPA Supplicant Driver to ndiswrapper.

Hi, it took me a minute but I adjusted the settings in my Wicd Manager and it worked, thanks!
