RE: [gentoo-user] network driver

["John Dangler" <jdangler@atlantic.net>]

I didn't want to just 'try it', since, as I said, I've been wrong before.
I'm not really sure how to install this setup, since my laptop has all new
hardware in it, and the kernel has modules for the laptop.  All of the
information I find in googling is about Linksys wireless cards.  This box is
older (P3 Desktop).  is tulip what I want? or is ndiswrapper?  are they the
same? This is the spot where I'm hung up...

btw - 
lsmod currently shows -
Module	Size	Used By
tulip		42336		0

thanks for the reply. I appreciate it!
