Very Computer

Hi Guys.

For some days Ive been on the hunt for a Linux distro that can make
use of the USB WIFI DONGLE in the Trendnet TEW-429UF (WINDOWS inf-file
is called zd1211bu.inf).
No luck so far, therefore turning for help in this group.

Some details from the inf-file:

[Manufacturer]
%Manufacturer%  = ZyDAS, NT.5.1, ntamd64
Manufacturer    = "TRENDnet"
ZD1211BU.Service.DispName = "802.11g Wireless USB 2.0 Adapter C1
Driver"

SLAX, Knoppix, Ubuntu, Debian, Puppy and others has been tried.

If that adapter isn't supported by the kernel, by the manufacturer, or
by ndiswrapper, you'll probably have to find another wifi adapter or
use Windows.
