I just installed opensuse 10.1 on a new dell inspiron 9400 and the only way to get the wireless working was with the ndiswrapper. It is a broadcom bc44XX built in wireless chipset.
BTW, you can get Linux drivers for the 4401 chip (I don't know if that is what you have) directly from them... http://www.broadcom.com/support/ethernet_nic/4401.php
The Knetworkmanager connects to my wireless router just fine. However I run a local network and wish to use a static address and I cannot get it to allow me to set the address of wlan0 to be static and use my personal nameservers.
John - I use static in my local net as well. Where are you setting this? Are you going through Yast and setting it in the network card settings? -- kai www.perfectreign.com || www.4thedadz.com a turn signal is a statement, not a request -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
