How do I make my Linux computer work with a wireless Belcan router?

Q. I need step by step instructions. I just had linux put on my desktop computer. I have a wireless adapter that plugs into the pc. Where do i get the software to run the router with Linux? can I download the install program onto a usb drive and then install it on the linux computer? will the linux computer even recognize the usb?

A. Hi
Which linux are you running?
When you type lsusb or lspci into the terminal can you identify which chip is in the usb? It will be at the bottom of the list.

At school, how can you send a message to another linux computer using the linux version of command prompt?
Q. I have been trying to figure out how to send a message to another linux computer at school for a while now by using the linux version of command prompt. I have tried using the write command but it says I have write abilities disabled. I have also tried using smbclient -M accountnamehere and it always says failiure to connect to whatever account I tried to connect to. Any help would be awesome.

A. Maybe you as a normal user just don't have the rights to do so. It's probably so for security reasons.

How can you install Shockwave on a Linux computer?
Q. I recently bought a nifty little Eeepc, it works great for everything, it even plays videos and things really well.
The only problem is it runs on a linux system... does anyone know a way how I can install a shockwave player onto a linux computer?

A. this is gonna take a little work ;)

read this to install wine on your eee http://wiki.eeeuser.com/howto:wine

wine will allow you to run windows programs under linux. after this, you should downlaod and install firefox for windows.

run it under wine and install shockwave.

this may be a hack but at the moment, there is no native shockwave player for linux or last i read, macs even.
