need wireless driver - 9880 802.11G+BT

Thread Starter 
I have been farting around with linux, but am still a complete noob. I'd like to do a more permanent install (i've been using knoppix), but one of the things standing in my way is the wireless, since I hate dragging out the ethernet cable when I have a perfectly good wireless network. Anyone know where I can get linux drivers for 802.11G+BT card? forgive me if this has been covered, I looked around and didn;t see it.

I may be missing something, but what's the model of your wireless card? Have you tried using ndiswrapper?

Sorry, I believe it is an MSI CB54G3/MP54G3. I just stumbled across ndiswrapper, so I guess I will give that a try. I'm downloading a new version of knoppix right now, hopefully it won't have problems seeing the SATA drive like the old one did.

What notebook/config is it? Mostly these days there is a driver for just about everything and using the ndis wrapper should be the last resort.

He's using a Sager 9880 with a MSI network card (CB54G3/MP54G3.)

You need the acer zip. The others don't work. Something like neti2220 for AirConn or something. Its on ndiswapper site.
