I got my daughter a new laptop (Compaq Presario CQ50-142) for Christmas. It came with Vista, but I've now got openSUSE 11.1 on it. It's working well except for wireless at this point.
It has an Atheros AR242X wireless card. I'd read on one of the forums that this would work 'out-of-the-box' will 11.1, but that doesn't seem to be the case.
I was hoping some on this list had experience getting this working and share how they did it.
Should work with madwifi-ng drivers and with the compat-wirless drivers, which are essentaily the drivers of kernel 2.6.18 backported to 2.6.27. Currently no packages for openSUSE 11.1 are available. I compiled the latter myself for my EEEPC 900A and it worked without any tricks. I will provide packages in my home BuildService repository (home:hgraeber:drivers) soon. This will help with several other wireless hardware, too. Herbert -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
