    I wish to install Linux on it and I need to know what kind of driver does it use?...I've found several different wireless drivers on this site, but I don't know which one I should use!
    Those 3 different drivers I've found are :

    ASUS WL-120G/WL-120G V2 Wireless LAN Driver and Utility for Win2000/XP
    2.BlueTooth

    Hello and welcome.

    Ok, first thing, do you have bluetooth on your computer? If so, install the second one, of course.

    What wireless card do you have?

    Hello. Thank you for your answer...You see this is my first time I have a barebone PC, so I'm pretty noob in it...I don't think I have any bluetooth on this barebone, but I can buy speciall USB if it is better than usual wireless network...
    And my wireless card is Asus I think......
    Do you know anything about if this USB bluetooth will work in linux?
    Thank you for your time=)
