Hello,
I don't know really where to look but I've got a labtop with a wireless adapter build-in but it doens't seem to result in a wireless network. I can configure it with Yast but looking with ifconfig it doesn't appear.
Can anyone give some suggestions where to look? It's Suse 10.1 Prof.
Thanks in advance.
Rolf.
Rolf, After reading the responses to your post, I have an additional thought. If you can download the windows driver for your wireless chipset, you can then use ndiswrapper (which is on your SuSE cds) to run the driver on Linux. I had the same problem with my Linksys pcmcia wifi card. I downloaded the driver from Linksys, then in a terminal as root, I ran ndiswrapper -i driverfilename. After rebooting, I called up a terminal, and as root typed modprobe ndiswrapper....up came wifi. I could then configure it for my system... Best, Pete -- Peter N.
