I just installed Unbuntu on my Compaq Evo n600c laptop and I would like to be able to use my wireless card with Ubuntu. I need someway to install the driver. I found instructions on how to compile a linux version of the driver but soon got frustrated with the process. Is there an easeir way to install this driver? Will WINE let me install the driver? Please realize that I am new to Linux. Thanks

HP Wireless LAN W200. I can give you more details about it if you need them.

If you can get the .inf file for Windows XP you can install it using ndiswrapper. Here is an article describing that process for a different card and computer.

In my limited experience, when you install a driver that way it usually works, at least partially.

FWIW I've found that the D-Link DWL-G630 works fine with native drivers in Ubuntu 8.10 and in Puppy Linux 4.1. Even connects with WPA-PSK encryption with my 'N' router. Just mentioning this in case you can't get your adapter to work.
