[Voyage-linux] Re: Compiling drivers for VIA mini pci card ( solomon) vt6655

Varadarajan,

Do you have a NorhTec box? If so you should really use ndiswrapper and 
the windows driver. The VIA driver is so bad! Associating to access 
points when you don't want it to, requiring patches to wpasupplicant, etc.

Check out this page for instructions: 
http://nicolas314.wordpress.com/norhtec-microclient-jr/

The driver is here:
http://www.norhtec.com/info/download/vt6655softwarepackage1.1.zip

Punky has conveniently compiled ndiswrapper for the 
ndiswrapper-modules-2.6.23-486-voyage. (THANKS PUNKY!) Just make sure 
that this line is in your /etc/apt/sources.list.

deb http://www.voyage.hk/dists/0.5 ./
