Thank you, Glenn. With these settings, the wifi card did a lot of
hopeful blinking. - Anyway, so far, no success. The reason, however,
may be elsewhere. I tried to run a ping.exe utility that gives a
message about bootp failure.

When I try to connect to the network in Linux, there is still 
another step between installing the wifi device and dhcp. 
There, I need to run an utility iwconfig and enter the essid of 
the local network. Is there possibly some analogy for this in DOS?
