RE: [MLUG] Wireless NIC on SuSE 10

["Pepper, Mike" <EMAIL:PROTECTED>]

I had installed Driverloader trying to get things to work. I think that it hijacked the wlan0 at some point.

I am reinstalling the OS at this point to get back to a clean slate.

One of the problems working like this is that I don’t have an internet connection and am relying on Winblows on a laptop to look for answers, and grab possible files to use.

I’ll post an update later this afternoon after I get things reloaded.

 

Thanks

 

Mike

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.

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.
