I have the same card which you reference. In my reading about this card, I have found that there are different versions of this card which use different chips. Hopefully you will find that yours is the same as mine so that these instructions help you. First go to this site: http://mymirrors.homelinu...

No luck...deleted the line I added previously and restarted xwin then it dumps me back to command line with the following message:
"Exited from X. Type "xwin [fvwm95|jwm]" to restart x"
Is there a way I can replace this .jwmrc with a clean one?

Thanks

Tempestuous-

I downloaded the file and copied it to /root and uncompressed and I can see the 2 resulting files.
When I modprobe airo_cs I get the message "Can't locate module airo_cs"

Clearly I am doing something wrong.

My lack of Linux experience is really showing.
