Linux Mandrake 10.1

How doing I install WINE? So that I can install drivers for my U.S. Robotics wireless card. I am new to Linux. I have a good grasp of some functions.

You expect Wine to help you get those Windows drivers to work in Linux. I think your plan is doomed. Linux would support that and then offer a network to Wine.

This is not an offer to fix your issue.

Any time I install(or reinstall) a Linux distro, I make it a point to load Wine. The program is usually in the available packages on most distros. To date, I have never anything it works on. Microsoft has publicly stated they try to configure programs so they won't work with Wine.
And it won't help you with the wireless card anyway, as Bob said. chuck
