Stock Suse 7.3 was missing the "version.h" file (or something) which was generated by doing "make" in /usr/src/linux. I think I had to run "make config" first though. I didn't build anything else though. Next, I followed the installation instructions for the linux-wlan-ng. Presto, we're in business.

Dennis> Do you mean PCMCIA or is it aPCMCIA adapter? The WMP11 is a PCI card. There is no need for PCMCIA or adapters. However, you can go with PCMCIA if you prefer. (When/if I get a laptop, I'll likely be going this route). You can also go with USB. See linux-wlan-ng for more driver info. Make sure the firmware is reasonably up to date though (this applies to most prism cards apparently). -- __@ Greg Franks <| _~@ __O _`\<,_ Ottawa, Ontario, Canada |O\ -^\<;^\<, (*)/ (*) (*)--(*)%---/(*) "Where do you want to go today?"
