Mark, First of all: Please make sure that you always reply to the Mailinglist.
Thank you for the e-mail. This is my first experience with Linux so I'm only starting to learn my way around it. As for your questions:
I know that Linux is sometimes a hard thing. But don´t give up - everything I wanted could be realized! And the community is greeeat what concerns support!
1. I don't know why the smp-kernel is mentioned (I don't even know why this is relevant, but again I'm new. But I do know that when I type: ================== linux:/usr/src/ndiswrapper-1.9 # uname -r 2.6.13-15.8-smp ==================
Your laptop, does it have an Intel CPU? I know that there are Intel CPUs which are build up with 2 cores, and that´s why SuSE chooses the multi-kernel (=smp) at installation time. So this could be correct!
3. What do you mean by check for an ndiswrapper? When I type lsmod, it does show up in that list of running operations. Other than that I'm not sure what you mean.
I mean if you checked in the internet if there´s a new version. The website is: http://ndiswrapper.sourceforge.net/ But this should be one of the last things we´re going to do! Next thing: After having installed the driver with ndiswrapper, please send the output of the following commands: - ifconfig - iwconfig - rcnetwork status Greets, Dennis
