I dont think anyon honestly ever thought you where behind any of this. Other mods (IMO) intentionally tried to breed distrust to keep this situation under wraps.

i ran the command without beeing online ( i did have cd in though)

i just installed ubuntu on an old k6 laptop and i hav e dlink dwl-650 rev.m1 which uses the rtl8180 chip as well.
all i had to do to get it working was
1. install linux headers
sudo apt -get install build-essential linuxheaders-`uname -r`
2. then cd to the rtl8180 directory, make (the previuos package should be all you need to make the drivers, it was all i needed)
3. (assuming you have all the modules you pcmcia chipset needs)
type ./modules_load (scrtipt in rtl* directory) this will load the modules in the correct order
4. set the settings for network in /etc/network/interfaces:
mine:
auto lo
auto eth0
auto wlan0
iface lo inet loopback
iface eth0 inet dhcp
iface wlan0 inet dhcp #your device may be different, check iwconfig
network 192.168.1.0
gateway 192.168.1.1
netmask 255.255.255.0
wireless_essid linksys
wireless_mode managed
wireless_key **************************
wireless_channel 6
5. run:
/etc/init.d/pcmcia restart (may not be nessecary)
/etc/init.d/networking start
iwconfig wlan0 up
this worked to get my card working.
and thank you iccaros, ive had this card awhile hoping for an opensource driver

dont kill yourself trying to get windows to see and access the linux filesystem. it'll never happen(at least for know).
although ive heard of a program to allow accessing ext2 (and maybe ext3) filesystems.
as iccaros said, blame ms

Thanks Tictoc but I gave up trying to fix the problem and am reinstalling both win 2k and ubuntu. Luckily I didn't have anything critical onthe comp so I reformatted to get rid of everything
<{POST_SNAPBACK}>
as a windows user we get ingrained in our heads that the cure for most problems is a reinstall.
ive reinstalled linux several times when it was unnecessary.
more than likely your problem can be fixed by either reinstalling grub (which is fairly easy), or editing grub.conf/menu.lst

ive run linux on hadware as old as a pentium mmx 233Mhz 16MB.
your ram is fine, but processor is alittle slow, itll run but may get alittle frustrating dealing with lag.
as jcl said gnome (and imo kde as well) would be slow on that system, use fluxbox or openbox ( i dont know if ubuntu installs these)
what model is the linksys card?

heres my gentoo 64 2005.0 with gnome 2.8.3, gartoon icon theme vmware 5 running win 2000 and solaris 10.
ive only been running vmware about a week, and i have to say im already in love with it. no more rebooting if I need to use windows for 5 mins
edit: link fixed, thanks murtu52

I know that picture from somewhere??

my main install with gnome with openbox wm, nothing special

i'm taking it in collage to get my degree (yes Im the old 33 year old in class..)
your not the only one, im 28 and just started at my local comunity college last year (part time at nite)
by my current calculations itll be another 3 years or so before i get my A.S. in CS then who knows how long for my B.S. assuming i can kep my grades up.
im seriously considering finding a part time job quit my current job and go to school full time (very impatient)
-
thanx for the links iccaros, i acctually havent seen the wiki page (thought i found all the ivtv info i could) ill check it out tomorow nite when i get back into gentoo ( been in win200 far too much due to the vb.net class im taking, and lack of free time in general)
ill probably try a stage 1 when 2005.0 comes out, till then ill just try to get the 350 fuly working
-
ive been using gentoo for about a year and a half and am by no means an expert (still consider myself a newb)
although the install can be very daunting i found it worth while in the long run to make the effort.
ive used a few other distros and though all have been good, they are also very bloated.
i like beeing able to install as much or little as I want.
im at the point now where i have a pretty much fully working system asde from my wintv pvr 350 which ive progressed to capturing picture but no sound yet.
i would suggest not dooing stage 1 install untill your very comfortable (i havent progressed to it yet) but stage2 isnt much more work (if any) than a 3.
p.s. it took me probably a dozen attempts before i had my system the way it is now(dont feel like your the only one with difficulty)
cant wait till 2005.0 is released so i can bork my box up and start over
the gentoo forums and #gentoo and #gentoo-amd64 are an incredibly helpfull resource
p.p.s appologies for rambling (been drinking)

ide go with the lite-on drive, ive only heard good things about the brand plus its a dual layer burner for a damn good price
-

The T.S. board is "supposedly" being renamed "Call For Help" and staying. Doesn't change anything for me, I highly doubt I'll be back there after all this. The decision to rename feels (to me) like an attempt to make those who where mad and left look foolish. I stand by everything I've said.
