Sony-Ericsson GC-79 Wireless Lan Pci Card


Hi and I need help in a big way. I have a Toshiba 1555CDS Satillite laptop and at this point have Windows home XP W/sp 2. I have a wireless card from T-Mobile and was told to contact Sony-Ericsson for a driver.
At this point The GC-79 does not support Linux in any flavor, only windows.

I have Ubuntu and Damn Small Linux but I can not find a driver to hook up the pci card for internet service. I like the option of being able to go anywhere and check the Internet. I was surprised that Sony doesn't have a driver for Linux or BSD it seems.

Does anyone happen to know where I might beable to down load one so I could switch over to Linux OS? If not, does anyone know of a carrier besides T-Mobile or Verison for wireless internet?

Thank you all for your help and knowledge in this area,
beekers

Try having a read through this site for some advice. A word of warning however, that site is VERY badly written.

However, after a little googling, it looks as if ndiswrapper supports your card, at least for wifi access.
