Default driver for wireless adaptor on Thinkpad 40

Hi,

I'm new to Linux and I just installed Mandrake 10 on my Thinkpad 40. I use
a wireless router as my usual connection to the internet; however, the
Mandrake installation doen't seem to contain the appropriate driver, and I
can't find one by googling the Web. My TP 40 uses a non-Centrino IBM 802.11
A/B adapter made by Accton Technology.

Also, any good books on using/managing Linus on a Intel machine while
cooperating with Windows XP on a separate partition? Most of the "newbie"
books and websites focus on shell commands, which I'm partially familiar
with from using Unix 15 years ago.

Any suggestions?

Thanks.


Bill T
