Hello, I downloaded the dvd image of S. 9.2 from the ftp site, and I installed it on and AMD64 computer. This computer has a network wireless card with chip bcm4306, that is not supported and I cannot run ndiswrapper on 64bits. There is no 64bits driver available for Windows so driverloader doesn´t work neither. How can I install with this dvd the 32bits version of Suse? And thus get the ndiswrapper working... if there is no other better solution non involving extra money. Thanks.
Hi Alvaro, you can select the version to be installed when the SuSE boot window appears, the default version and the command to switch it are shown on the lower right corner of the window. - Jose Luis Alvaro Aguilera wrote:

I never was able to get the FTP DVD version working with my laptop and wireless card. It could never seem to find any of my software, including ndiswrapper and yet; it was installed. I solved that by buying the store version. Works great. I too, have the BCM4306 and AMD64. True, There is no 64 bit NDiswrappr; But it still runs perfectly fine with the rest of the 64 bit programs. That's the beauty of these AMD chips. As a side note. Your encryption will work too. WPA is expeirmental in 9.2. I was able to get mine going. I also tried WEP; just to see if it would work and yes it does. JD
