However I've followed the guide here: http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Download downloading tarball from http://www.orbit-lab.org/kernel/compat-wireless-2.6/2008/04/compat-wireless-2008-04-01.tar.bz2 Compiling and installing went well, but there looks to be serious issues using the device. dmesg and lspci can be found here: http://bachman.tor.lindesign.se/tmp/dmesgC2510p.txt http://bachman.tor.lindesign.se/tmp/lspci-vnn_C2510p.txt Debian/2.6.24 I've heard that the wlan on this laptop works with ubuntu which suprises me after all effort to get it going with latest drivers. Are there any solution to get this wlan nic working on my current system?
