The madwifi driver, which I need for my Atheros a/b card is NOT in the kernel, I always had to "emerge" it seperately, how does Suse handle it? I saw under It is in the kernel, you will need the kernel-default-nongpl RPM from the external instsource howerver. Grabbed the sources from ftp://mirror.switch.ch/mirror/suse/suse/i386/10.0/SUSE-Linux10.0-RC1- Extra/kernel-modules+firmware/suse/i586/kernel-default-nongpl-2.6.13-8 .i586.rpm Installed and it worked! No I need to find out how to gain more control over it, like how to use vpn and turn wlan manually on and off, is this easy? I don't want it to start everytime at boot
Hi, Startmode ifplugd, but not tested for wlan.
and I don't want the wired conn there either. I'd like the ethernet to start at plugging in the cable
Set the startmode of the interface to ifplugd. It writes "PHY reset until link up" every 5 seconds to the log, but works. Have a look at your /var/log/messages...
and the wireless to start when an appropriate AP is nearby OR manually.
Can't say, my wlan card (broadcom) is not supported (maybe ndiswrapper) and it's the only wlan device I own. So no chance to test. -- mdc
