Re: ZEW2542

I have no personal experience with your card. Debugging hardware/driver issues generally starts with the same piece of advice: run lsmod from a terminal window. You are searching for a loaded driver for you wireless device. if you're not sure what driver to look for in the lsmod listing, search in the following directory for wireless drivers:

/lib/modules/<running kernel>/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/

If you loaded a wireless driver, the lsmod listing should include a file under the directory I pasted. It could be in a subdirectory. I have an Intel wireless card so ipl3945 is my loaded wireless driver in 9.04. If you find a driver loaded, the next step is running ifconfig from a terminal and looking for wlan0. if you see wlan0 the interface exists so you probably have a configuration problem. I'm sure others will help once you confirm the driver is loaded and you see the wlan0 interface.
