Re: [MLUG] Wireless NIC on SuSE 10

[Josh <EMAIL:PROTECTED>]

Don't mean to jack the thread - but this is a good opportunity to mention one of the strengths of my beloved debian. There is a great package called "module-assistant" that makes building kernel modules from source simple. You just:

apt-get install ndiswrapper (which downloads the ndiswrapper helper apps, dependencies,etc. and the source for the kernel module)
module-assistant
and use a nice dialog interface to pick ndiswrapper..module-assistant will download the source to your kernel if its missing, compile the module, and even install it in the kernel with modprobe for ya.

Could be a version incompatibility betweent he ndiswrapper module and

Ooops, I forgot - the SuSE RPM probably won't work, it doesn't include
the kernel module.

Build ndiswrapper from source and you should be good to go.
