Hi all, I'm having difficulty installing a Broadcom BCM4306 wireless modem in my Gateway M520CS. I copied the bcmwl5.sys & .inf files to /tmp/driver/. did an 'ndiswrapper -i /tmp/driver/bcmwl5.inf and saw that ndiswrapper needed the .sys file. I then tried to remove the file using ndiswrapper -e, which reported the file was not installed, so, I tried again, ndiswrapper -i /tmp/driver/bcmwl5.inf & it say's it is installed. Did a modprobe ndiswrapper, with no message. Looked at 'dmesg', "ndiswrapper:module not supported by Novell, setting U taint flag" & "ndiswrapper version 0.10 loaded (preempt=no,smp=no)" The ndiswrapper is the one off of the SuSE 9.2 DVD, the bcmlw5.xxx files are from MS XP home, which came with the Gateway. I do have access via 10baseT but I want wireless. iwconfig doesn't find any wireless extensions. Any help would be appreciated...Thx in advance.

SuSE Linux vs. 9.0 ===========
Don, Your question would be better asked on the SLE, list not here. This list is for OpenSuSE 10.0 which will eventually be the next version of SuSE. If you have questions regarding the beta versions of 10.0 or suggestions, then please ask here, otherwise all other questions need to go to another list. Thanks, Lee
