Could anybody recommend a 54G PCI Wireless Network Card to work on Suse. I've found the Broadcom chipset does not support Linux I've found out that Linksys uses the broadcom chipset. http://www.hpl.hp.com/personal/Jean_Tourrilhes/Linux/Linux.Wireless.drivers..... Regards, Sam
The only native linux driver for G chipsets I know of is for the aetheros chipset see, http://sourceforge.net/projects/madwifi But I couldn't tell you which cards they're in. Other than that I think the NDIS wrapper at www.linuxant.com works with some G cards (I'm using it for a Centrino b card) - it costs $20. There is also a GPL NDIS wrapper at http://ndiswrapper.sourceforge.net/ which I haven't had a play with yet (it's quite new, and came out after I'd bought the linuxant wrapper).

I use the Ndiswrapper with my IBM R40 Centrino laptop. It's worth bearing in mind that although the project is GPLed, it still uses the Windows .sys and .inf driver files to communicate, so your system will not be entirely "Free". There's a reasonably active mailing list too. HTH, Tony
I attempted to use the ndiswrapper, but had difficulties with Kernel versions. the paid-for one has been most fruitful for me however. --- Tony Whitmore <tonywhitmore@users.sourceforge.net> wrote: > Paul Cooper wrote:

Hi, Just been playing with V9 over the w/e - very nice Set up two dual booting 98/V9 machines, as easy as a piece of easiness! :-) It wouldn't play with XP though. Didn't try 2000. Has anyone upgraded from 7.2 to 9? are their any issues? Thanks Adrian
