rt2x00 is the free software driver for your card. This should work but you might need a new kernel and you might need to edit one line in the driver. A few days ago there was a post on the rt2x00-users mailing list, where an HP netbook user said he made a patch to get the driver to recognize his 539F card: http://rt2x00.serialmonkey.com/pipermail/users_rt2x00.serialmonkey.com/2011-May/003786.html You can also try asking the rt2x00-users mailing list for help. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
