I see that Intel has a linux driver for this hardware: http://ipw3945.sourceforge.net/
I am assuming installing this driver would get the wireless networking functional.
I assume that since YAST recognizes that there is a wireless networking hardware on the computer that some of the necessary driver parts have been installed.
No, PCI devices have unique ids, which can be read out without any device specific driver. To get it working, you will need to install the wlan-kmp rpm for the kernel driver module. the ipw3945d rpm for the regulary deamon, and the ipw-firmware rpm , which is included in the non-OSS section of the distribution due to the licence of the firmware. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
