Hi,

Now what you need to do is just find out the chipset of your WiFi card. Not every version of Linux supports all the cards, so you need to explicitly download the driver and install the same.

To find the chipset (e.g. RT2500) google it by inputting the make and model of your card.

Many WiFi card manufacturers of do not provide drivers for Linux so then only option is to purchase a card of different make which is most compatible one. In such a case you can go for Linksys is my personal opinion. It also has a USB wireless card.

I think this will surely solve the problem

bt3c

BT3C(4) 						   BSD Kernel Interfaces Manual 						   BT3C(4)

NAME

     bt3c -- 3Com Bluetooth PC Card driver

SYNOPSIS

     bt3c* at pcmcia? function ?

DESCRIPTION

     The bt3c driver provides support for the 3Com Bluetooth PC Card, model 3CRWB6096, to the Bluetooth protocol stack.

FIRMWARE

     This card needs firmware loaded before it will work. Due to copyright restrictions we cannot distribute the firmware with NetBSD, but if you
     have the card then you should have received a CD with the drivers on, or you may download the latest version from the 3Com website. Create a
     directory named bt3c in the search path of the firmload(9) kernel subsystem. Now, extract the driver archive and find the firmware file
     called BT3CPCC.bin, and place this file in the newly created directory. The firmware will be loaded automatically as needed.

DIAGNOSTICS

     bt3c%d: Cannot open firmware
	  This will be printed to the console if the device cannot open the firmware file as described above.

     bt3c%d: Antenna In
     bt3c%d: Antenna Out
	  If the kernel is compiled with the DIAGNOSTIC option, these messages will be produced on the console when the card antenna position is
	  changed.

     bt3c%d: sleeping
     bt3c%d: waking up
	  These messages will be produced when the card is enabled or disabled due to power change events.

SEE ALSO

     bluetooth(4), pcmcia(4), firmload(9)

HISTORY

     This bt3c device driver was written by Iain Hibbert using FreeBSD and BlueZ drivers as a reference.  It first appeared in NetBSD 4.0.
