Kim:

Puppy is a flavor of Linux. It has a list which I am also on in addition 
to this list as I am running 7.10. I have been fighting a Belkin 7050 v 
4 for a couple of weeks in Puppy. I have been in contact with the guru 
for Puppy WIFI and have not heard of ndisgtk before. I just thought you 
might know if there was a Puppy version. Thanks for the thought. I will 
send word to Puppy people. I am going wired, the cable is coming on Monday.
