I'm just going to copy and paste the message I posted on the Mepis Forums. I don't feel like re-typing it.

Hi all,
First off lemme state that I am pretty new to Mepis, and Linux at that. I am a windows and DOS child, as that's all that I was ever exposed to. A little experience in the MacOS 9 realm, but other then that, windows and DOS.
My question is the following: How would I go about setting up my "Motorola 802.11g Wireless PCI Adapter (WPC1810G)" to work within Mepis2004. I had recently tried Mandrake 10 and I was quite lost in the process of setting up the card (NDISWRAPPER confuses the hell out of me). I'm guessing I'll be using the NDISWrapper once more, but I was wondering if I could get a, to say, "n00b" explaination on the process of setting it up.
The version of Mepis2004 I have is just 1 CD, other then that I can't tell you much. I had recieved it from a friend, but he is out of town for a bit, and he sucks with Long Distance tech-support.
The wireless adapter is pretty much the only means of outside-communication for my computer. The specs are:
AMD 64bit 3200+
1024mb Corsair PC3200
Radeon 9600xt
Onboard sound etc..
And the motorola
I have setup Mepis on a partition already and is just begging for the WirelessLAN so I can use it as my main OS. I am deadly sick of windows.
Any help on the matter is appreciated.

Edit: Thought I may mention that the Wireless Router I am connecting to is an Actiontec DSL modem/Wireless Router that Qwest gave me when I ordered their DSL. I'm hoping to get something better soon, as this wireless router is the biggest piece of s*** I have ever used in my life. I had better experiences with a system of Dixie Cups and Strings.

As you can see, I'm more or less a linux n00b. I means, I can do basic things, but nothing like this. Just posting this here just incase a Mepis Wiz is around.
Sigs blow.
