wattOS anyone?

#1 Post by old sparky » Mon Jun 06, 2011 10:21 pm

Hello.....any other TP forum members running wattOS? The distro was included on a T23 I purchased locally. I am a Linux newbee and have questions about how to install drivers for a PCMCIA wifi card and to get recommendations about which wifi card(s) would be best (this particular T23 doesn't have internal wifi). I have an extra Netgear WG511v2 card.

Right now, I am tethered by the CAT5 cable connected to my router! Thanks for any help and/or suggestions!

Hi Sparky,

I don't use WattOS, but since it's built on Ubuntu this how-to should help you get you wireless adapter working under Linux.
