Hello all,
I plugged Senao NL-2511 UB4 and got this log:
===== Apr 8 16:30:24 sahabi kernel: p80211: unsupported module, tainting kernel. Apr 8 16:30:24 sahabi kernel: prism2_usb: unsupported module, tainting kernel. Apr 8 16:30:24 sahabi kernel: prism2usb_init: prism2_usb.o: 0.2.1-pre21 Loaded Apr 8 16:30:24 sahabi kernel: prism2usb_init: dev_info is: prism2_usb Apr 8 16:30:24 sahabi kernel: usbcore: registered new driver prism2_usb Apr 8 16:30:34 sahabi /etc/dev.d/net/50-ifup.dev[6049]: SIOCSIFFLAGS: No such device Apr 8 16:30:40 sahabi ifup: No configuration found for wlan0 ======
Then i tried to configured the device with yast. when i restarted the network, it said no configuration found for wlan0.
===== Apr 8 16:35:52 sahabi ifdown: No configuration found for wlan0 Apr 8 16:35:52 sahabi ifdown: Nevertheless the interface will be shut down. Apr 8 16:35:54 sahabi kernel: e100: eth0: e100_watchdog: link up, 10Mbps, half-duplex Apr 8 16:35:54 sahabi ifup: No configuration found for wlan0 =====
One told me that i should upgrade to 9.2. I did (new 9.2 installation) and still have the same problem (same logs). Please help. I'm wondering what happened? why? Do you have any device recommendations rather than what's been discussed?
Thanks,
Adinda Praditya

You need to have a look at what chipset is on the wifi card. Most up-to-date wifi cards have unsupported chipsets on. I have a prism54 chipset and its not supported by suse, or any other distro for that matter (to my knowledge).
This is because the foolish wifi companies wont release the core parts of the drivers, so no linux developer can work on them to create linux counterparts. However, look into ndiswrapper. Its free, and it allows you to "wrap" your winxp/2k driver for the card with a linux header, therefore allowing linux to see it correctly. Works for me on a 54g card, and its not that slow (its slower than a windows native mode driver for the same card, but it's a small difference).
Another solution could be DriverLoader by Linuxant (not free, of course)
Good luck! I had lots of fun figuring out my card!!
