https://community.hpe.com/t5/operating-system-linux/wlan-drivers/m-p/3600014#M85026 god, I'm lost. I have an HP Pavilion zv5200 with an integrated 54g wireless nic. My problem is that I can't seem to find instructions on how to get that particular driver (bcmwl5.sys?) for a linux distro.<BR />Areas of concern:<BR />[1] does it matter what linux OS I use?<BR />[2] can I download the driver (once I find the right one) to a windows partition, then mount it using linux. &lt;- to save using a cdrom.<BR /><BR />I've been reading and googling about this for sometime, and although I am learning alot regarding the use of linux, I have not yet been able to get online with it. Please, if you have any suggestions, be descriptive, as I'm a bit confused @ this point =) Tue, 09 Aug 2005 17:21:18 GMT timTowtdi 2005-08-09T17:21:18Z https://community.hpe.com/t5/operating-system-linux/wlan-drivers/m-p/3600014#M85026 god, I'm lost.

I too am having Wireless issues, but other than that RHEL was no problem.<BR /><BR />In general, Linux can read an NTFS partition, but most distros discourage or prohibit writing (because of reliability/corruption issues). I have had mixed results on previous sytems. At times, it was easier to use a USB jump drive to move files between systems.<BR /><BR />Good Luck!<BR /><BR />Mark Wed, 17 Aug 2005 08:25:54 GMT https://community.hpe.com/t5/operating-system-linux/wlan-drivers/m-p/3600015#M85027 Mark McBride_1 2005-08-17T08:25:54Z
