Hi All,
Thanks for all the help and I'm really sorry for taking so long to reply, I've been busy with all kinds of other stuff and did not get round to my Linux, I've only got the one PC and to swop HDD to use Linux and then back to Windows is a pain, that is why I want my internet working so that I can go over to Linux and stop using Windows.
I tried all of this and it looks good until I get to the last step where you run "./Configure", then you are supposed to run "make" but before you can do that it says something about it might be better if you use some other version of the config program or something like that, but the I run the make anyway and it works, but when I want to start the program with "./RaConfig" it says cant find the program or not valid or no such program or version or something, I cant remember exactly, it was a while ago that I tried it.
But since then I tried the new "Knoppix 3.7" Live CD, and then unpacked it on the HDD with some "SUDO" command thing and booted from the HDD into Knoppix, but I must be really dumb, cause I cant find anything related to Wireless in Knoppix.
Is it possible or are my chances better to do it with "Suse 9.1", I'm still really slow when it comes to any form of Linux, but I am very willing to learn and I want to make it my primary OS.
I will get my brother-in-laws old PC 2moro then I can install Linux on there and use it all the time till I get the wireless network running on it so that I can get internet, then I will install Linux on my PC too and forget that I ever used Windows
