What drivers would I need?
So I installed Linux but cant get the internet to work, Right now, I have one computer hooked up to a Motorola SufBoard 4200 Modem which is connected to this http://www.2wire.com/pr/pr1216a02.html which is running a wireless connection to my computer, So would I be looking for Motorola or 2Wire drivers? How would I set this up? Thanks.

I admit - I'm having a hard time working out your setup. Could you try and explain it a bit better or draw a diagram for us? Piccy would be nice. Either way, you need to install the Linux drivers for the NIC in the Linux box. So if the 2wire is in the Linux box you need linux drivers for it. If the modem is in the box, you need to find the modem programmers guide if it's not directly supported by your distro - I can help you through that bit. But still, a diagram of your setup would be handy |

Ok here's your diagram
 The one one the left is connected to the Motorla SB4200 Modem, which is connected to the 2Wire to give wireless internet to my computer. All I have on my computer is the little 2Wire wireless reciever. I'm not sure what I need to do to get this to work on Linux. Linux is installed on My computer (the right one) which is a dual boot with both XP and Linux. Any other ideas? BTW, I hope my artistic ability doesnt blow you away! |

In my case, I use D-Link 22mb cards which do not currently have Linux support - Texas Instruments the guys that make the chipset have stopped driver development and won't release the source - the swines!  http://www.linux-wlan.com/linux-wlan/ Supports some wireless stuff for Linux |
