I have tried the Linuxant drivers and the ndiswrapper with my broadcom card and neither has worked. It seems awfully strange to me how hit and miss these two solutions seem to work with Broadcom's chip. I believe the intel 2200 is made specifically for centrino based laptops is it not? I can't install one on a P4 w/ H.T., right?

I have had good luck with Linksys PCI cards out of the box with SuSE. I also have used Linuxant (not free, but free trial) drivers for my Broadcom card and it just works. I have intel 2200 built in now, so I haven't plugged in the Broadcom (Buffalo 54G) card in some time. Netgear PCI cards also work.
Good Luck,

I am almost tempted to just buy a PCMCIA card that has linux drivers.
If you do that then get the Orinoco Gold, worked straight away for me.

Yes, it is a mini-pci card on the mobo. What make the "centrino" is a combination of mini-pci card, intel mobo, and (I forgot what else, but I think it is the intel mobile processor). At any rate, if your laptop has a slot on the mobo for a mini-pci, you can google using your laptop + mini-pci netcard. My laptop was a barebones Asus M3N that I put together myself because I didn't want all the Microsoft fluff that comes with new laptops. My broadcom card is a Buffalo 54G. Check their website for the current drivers or write to Linuxant Support and they will help you get it going under their driver. I have had great success when SuSE broke something getting them to do custom workarounds. The price of the driver is under $30.00, I believe, but well work it, with the support you get plus lifetime driver updates as long as you card company has an agreement with them. --Keith
