    Hey

    I just got my 6625W today, and i'm really happy with it (the keyboard is not as bad as some say). However i can't find the drivers for the WLAN anywhere on the CD or the FTP site. Can anyone attach them to the forum in a zip file, that would be great.

    Thanks

    Hey ZayLril could you try booting up your zepto without the Wifi enabled? I get BSODs when I have it deactivated upon boot and I have the exact same card and drivers.

    It would be worthwhile checking through the Vista and reliability updates. Some of these relate to stability problems but are not considered serious enough to include in the automatic updates.

    Hi excuse the total newbie questions here, but I have used Macs for 20 years and just bought a Zepto 3215 and got delivered a few days ago.... to try out for a travel machine. I bought it with the Intel Pro/Wireless 4965AGN - 300Mbit wireless card. I installed UBUNTU on the machine and just connected to the internet via the fiber that we have in our house. We have no PPOE and just connect an ethernet cable and run.

    After many hassles and help I got the audio to work but still couldn't get the wireless card recognized so I could use it after installations and UNIX commands, which I am not very familiar with.

    So, I thought, okay try Vista.. so I installed that for a test run, and audio worked immediately. HOWEVER, it is imposible for me to connect to the internet. I have spent 4 hours configurring and hassling, so I thought okay, the wireless card, but when I go there it says I can only use a modem (which is not installed in this machine) and that it can't find any card. I have installed the latest driver for it and still no luck.

    Any suggestions?

    back to UNIX, probably...

    thanks!

    Finally got the wireless going by installing the INTEL driver from their website, but still haven't figured out how to get my broadband working over the ethernet cable...
    thanks

    thanks!

    I think the learning of this topic is:

    Allways search for newer drivers when you have a problem :tongue:
