Marvell Libertas Chipset not working
Posts: 1
Hello everybody!
I just got a new laptop (Everex StepNote 1500) and put Mepis onto it. Everything works fine, except for the wireless card. I know that the card exists and works because it worked under Vista before I wiped the hard drive. Ndiswrapper appears to be installed, but I'm not really sure what's going on with the system.

That last line is the device, I'm fairly certain. It doesn't show up on ifconfig or iwconfig, though.
Any help is appreciated!
