In summary, the conversation revolves around the use of ndiswrapper for a wireless card in Linux, the desire to access a laptop remotely and unreliable web servers. The person is seeking advice on setting up the wireless card in under an hour and is willing to use the newest version of Suse. They also mention being a student with limited time to figure out Linux commands and want to know how to find the exact model of their wireless card.

I don't understand ndiswrapper.. or any linux commands.. but I want to move to linux..

I can't figure out how to use the ndiswrapper setup for my wireless card.. I've tried before and it took me multiple hours for multiple days and then I gave up..

I want to be able to access my laptop from a remote location and u/l and d/l files from it.

Web servers I've been usually lately aren't too reliable. :grumpy:
Anyone have any ideas on how I could set up my wireless card in under an hour?

I'd be willing to use the newest version of Suse also.
I'm a student so I don't have a lot of time to play around with Linux commands and so forth..
However, I would be willing to spend at most an hour a day trying to figure junk out.

Shouldn't there be a model number on the card somewhere?
