Don't use YAST2 -- edit everthing manually. This can be a pain. I had trouble with the routing tables. Dennis> 2) Re: Installing a PCMCIA card onto a Desktop. Linksys makes a PCI card (WMP11) which doesn't rely on PCMCIA at all. This may be a better route. The only tricky part of the installation I found was building the module for the kernel. This too was relatively painless as Suse came with the the correct config file for my kernel.
