3. The Linksys wireless card is now recognised even though I needed to download a firware package from Ubuntu as one was not available from openSUSE that I could find.
Mmh - could y ou file a bug for this so that we can investigate and possibly ship the firmware as well?
I too am an unfortunate bcm wlan owner hoping that 10.2 will help me get rid of the nasty destabilizing Ndiswrapper without buying a new card.
My card doesn't work out of the box on alpha4 - it's recognized correctly by yast, NM doesn't see it. Haven't tried the firmware yet.
Here are some links
Driver site: http://bcm43xx.berlios.de/
The driver is part of 2.6.18, so we have it.
Ubuntu doc on howto obtain firmware: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx/Dapper#head-91813a...
Don't know the licensing issues for it - but seems Ubuntu can host a firmware package on their Universe repo..
So, could either of you file a bugreport, please?
Will be great if we can get this sorted out.
