RE: [MLUG] Wireless NIC on SuSE 10 <SOLVED>

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

Problem solved.

The solution was that I had another nic at home. This time it is a Linksys WUSB54g. It has the Prism chipset, but of course would not work with ndiswrapper. So I am using Linuxants Driverloader.

 

Thanks for all of the help.

 

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.
