Thanx Kai,
Pardon, I meant OpenSUSE 10.2. (Changed the Subject too)
I can't judge if this card works or not (I'm not that knowledgeable on
this technology). I am about to order some notebooks for the company.
They have to be able to run Linux. They can be ordered with either Intel
Pro Wireless 3945 802.11a/b/g-Minicard or the Intel Wireless-N-Minicard
Next Gen. The new N-Minicard would be nice, if it works.
But it seems that something is in the coming. I googled some more and
found this:

4.10 Intel PRO/Wireless 4965AGN draft-802.11n (Centrino)
Driver status :
Experimental
Driver name :
iwl4965.o
Version :
0.1.3
Where :

I have a Lenovo T61 which uses that chip. It took a little effort, but I did get it to work. There is a development driver system available from this site: http://intellinuxwireless.org/?p=iwlwifi The setup, at least when I did it a couple of months ago, has to be done manually, but it does work. It's under active development and hopefully will be available in a stable version in the forseeable future. Bernie Gardner On Wednesday 15 August 2007 09:06, LLLActive@GMX.Net wrote:
