Default TP-Link PCI Adapter

Having purchased this card a couple of weeks ago on the strength of what it said on the box ie Linux 2.4x

I can't for the life in me get it to be recognised.

Any pointers anywhere or tips, or is it just going to be incompatable?


Si

What is the product # of your tp-link device ?

First tip..
kernel 2.4 is not kernel 2.6
--there may be difficulties

Update

Had email from tp-link stating the card does not support Linux, shame they couldn't have told their marketing people this would have saved me the trouble buying it, bah!

Have replied to them stating that they are marketing this device as supporting Linux I await a reply.

Does it not support Linux by using NDIS Wrapper ?

Also you have failed to mention the actual WiFi Chipset on the card !
