        My understanding is that driver support for the 2940U2W is still under
development.  The drivers for 2940UW may work.  I suggest, post your query
in comp.os.linux.hardware news group as well

        Don't know if Novell has similar restriction as that of Win9x i.e. must be
in the first primary partition of the HD.  If not, then you can install it
say in /dev/sda4 and include a section in lilo.conf other=/dev/sda4 for
Novell in addition to a section for NT (say in /dev/sda1) which would be
declared as other=/dev/sda1.  I think this logic would work. As for
partition advice, there has been some previous discussion on the topic;
suggest browsing the archives on SuSE's Web site.
