Does anyone else have any suggestions for getting my internal wireless card up and running? Like I said, I'm fairly new to Linux so just let me know what other information you need.
I'd really appreciate any help!
1) install wireless tools 2) update pcmcia.rpm from ftp (you'll need it 8) 3.1) fire up yast2 configure network card as pcmcia (DHCP settings might be troublesome, use hardcoded IP, just for testing at least) 3.2) disable WEP on your router for right now. You could torture yourself with it lately (WEP encoding is crap anyway) 3.3) go and edit bloody config 8) /etc/sysconfig/network/wireless.... stick there proper name for you SSID 4) reboot (or do manual restart for all the pcmcia & stuff) after that you should be able to see your ifconfig ethX, and being able to poke with iwconfig ethX (X is whatever number you pick up for your wireless NIC.. I would suggest to put it on 0, i had some goofy experience with 1) // reason to install new pcmcia package - SuSE at last refused to use goofy prism2 driver and goes with orinoco - and it works much better // works fine for mine Toshiba WiFi miniPCI doodaah , which sppse to be running on prism2 as well.
