Ok, well, I haven't loaded any of the necessary drivers yet - fglrx, ndiswrapper (the bc43xx driver doesn't suppord my version of the wireless card yet), etc, but I'll get there. The basics are in place!
Then use bcm43xx-fwcutter to extract the drivers from driver cd that came with the wireless card and put them in /lib/firmware. I also found that using NetworkManager was unstable with this driver whereas the older ifup works flawless.
Ken, thanks, I'm aware of that. The problem is that my particular version of the card - BCM4318 - is not completely supported yet. According to this page: http://bcm43xx.berlios.de/?go=devices it is "Unstable (transmission power issues, work in progress)" I haven't tried it in 10.2, but in 10.1 I have tried it with a fresh vanilla kernel, and it didn't work. Ndiswrapper, on the other hand, works very well. Hans -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
