Just acquired a D-Link AirPlus DWL-G630 pc card nic.
I plugged it into my pc-card port and Suse 9.1 immediately recognized it but nothing beyond that.
Neither of the lights on the nic illuminate and if I disconnect the nic in the back and reboot the wireless nic is not picked up.
Is this not a Linux-compatible wireless nic?
If it is is there something extra I need to do manually that Suse 9.1 does not get done automatically?
I believe thats a broadcom chipset, and ndiswrapper may work with it or driverloader from http://www.linuxant.com/driverloader/
Arghhhh! I asked at Office Depot and examined the box closely. The "Tech" person hadn't a clue and D-Link didn't bother to disclose the chipset. Sigh. Well, return time. I already have a Buffalo pc-card nic and had hoped the D-Link would have a non-Broadcom chipset because ndiswrapper isn't going to work on my notebook until a pre-existing reoccuring problem has been resolved.
