Setting up wireless networking in Linux can be difficult, especially if the Linux user does not have a supported card. The more popular Linux distributions, such as Redhat, Slackware, Debian and Ubuntu, come with many native drivers, but not every networking card will work out of the box on a system running Linux.

Native wirless networking card drivers do not exist for every networking card. Many Linux distributions come with a program calledndiswrapper that allows a Linux user to set up a wireless network without too much differently. The steps for setting up any networking card or any other device driver that does not have native Linux support using ndiswrapper are the same.

1. Get and Install Ndiswrapper

The Ubuntu, Redhat, and SuSE installation CDs contain the ndiswrapper packages. The program can be installed from the command line by using apt-get. Gnome users can install the packages through Synaptic and KDE environment users install it through a program called Adept.
