Hi,
I have an Acer Aspire 3000 with Windows XP pre installed... I have installed SuSE 10 (Boxed version) on a second partition (Duel Boot)...
The problem I have is I can't seem to get either the LAN or the wireless cards to work... SuSE seems to detect the LAN card, but not the wireless card...
At the moment I'm consentrating on getting the LAN card working first... I have the card connected to my Linksys router using a cable that I know works... If I boot the laptop into windows I can use this cable and the LAN card works fine.
I have disabled IPv6 incase there was a problem with my Linksys WRT54G wireless router not supporting IPv6, but I still can't get the LAN card to pick up an address via DHCP...
I have also tried setting the IP address manually, but it doesn't seem to work... I can't ping anything and if I do a ifdown eth0 then a ifup eth0 it does not get issued an IP address...
Here is my config
KDE 3.4.2 Level b Release 2.6.13-15-default Machine I686
Cards
BCM4318 AirForce one 54g Wireless Card SIS900 Intergrated LAN Card
If you could give me any help or point me in the right direction that would be great.
Thanks in advance for your help.
Martin
Check Tuxmobile.org in their Acer section: http://tuxmobil.org/acer.html. Check Linux On Laptops' Acer section: http://www.linux-on-laptops.com/acer.html Even though you probably won't find anything on SUSE 10.0 there is plenty to learn from the other distro's mentioned. Stan
