Hello,
The w-lan in my medion md-96400 notebook doesn't work with suse 10.0. As I don't know what chipset is built in, I tried each of the 10 drivers in yast. ping 192.168.1.1 answers "network not available" every time.
I use the 386 32 bit version, although the md-96400 has a tourion 64 inside. Can that be the problem?
Networking with suse 10.0 works fine via ethernet an w-lan has no problems with windows xp. I know how wep encryption works and this should not be the problem. I use an other notebook with a pcmcia-card (acx100) without difficulties (linux an windows).
What can I do?
Greetings Wolfgang

Knowing the chipset would probably help, what does "lspci" say about it?

I'd rather use "iwconfig" to see if the device is up and running.

Hello Teemu,
Go into the Konsole, enter su, enter password of root user and enter command hwinfo After some time you get a long list of the hardware details. Look for the details of the wireless nic

The w-lan-device doesn't run. There is a switch in the keyboard for the w-lan and in windows I can switch it on and off. But running linux, the switch has no effekt. The reaction after lapci and iwconfig is always the same.
No chance?

Hello Wolfgang,
On my laptop I have also a switch in the keyboard that is used under w_xp, but under suse linux there is no need to use it for my laptop Medion MD41300. In my laptop I have a wireless card that was also not regcognised by suse 10.0 but in yast you can also search for the wireless card and for that you need also the output from the command hwinfo entered as root user.
Did the Yast system found a wireless card on your system or have you entered one. Can you describe how the laptop is connected wireless and also wired. Is there a router /access point involved. Do you have a local network.
The following links were for me very clear:

You know that you never can have 2 active nic's
Hello,
I have also a Medion Notebook and it seems that you have the same funktion-button for the WLAN. First you have to download the modul acerhk from:
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=129066
Install it and then open a Console.
~# modprobe acerhk
The following should turn on the led for your WLAN
~# echo on > /proc/driver/acerhk/wirelessled
Now you can make your WLAN-Settings.
It can be (for my Medion 40100) that you need to install the firmware too.
Good Luck

That's wrong - you _can_ have several active network interfaces.
For example, I use WLAN for internet access and forward the connection to another machine using the wired network. Works without problems.
There are some limitations of course: - obviously, you can only have one default route - the interfaces need to be in different subnets (otherwise, it becomes _really_ tricky ;-) - you may want to set DHCLIENT_PRIMARY_DEVICE in /etc/sysconfig/network/<device>
