Hi,
I'm newby....I have read your message, but on internet I don't find this wlan card compatible with linux....you???
thanks

no but maybe its possible to make it work by reverse engineering or other means. most wlan adapters arent supported (or notably supported) by the manufacturers on linux

[devillino86]

with the module ndswrapper it is even possible to make to work the dirver windows, but as it is made to load a module on the a780, is possible to make it?

[ig-88]

i think ndiswrapper only works on a x86 cpu. so this may isn't an option.

[peje]

it could be possible to crosscompile ndiswrapper...

[devillino86]

someone knows to me to say as it compiles modules for the cpu of the a780

[ig-88]

the compilation wont be a problem anyway. but i think the windows drivers themselves won't work. but i'm not sure

[devillino86]

I have understood because however the driver they are for x86 cpu It would have to find another way

[devillino86]

but rethinking the card to us it is not made for cpu x86 because it comes used is on the pda, on others smartophone, therefore small possibility of operation is one. It must alone try
