Help anyone!! I've just loaded Suse 9.1 pro on an HP laptop. I've got my 100BT (eth0) working but I haven't been able to get my PCMCIA wireless card to work. Yast see the card and knows what it is but I can't get it to connect. I've tried my NetgearWG511 (802.11g), a Netgear WG521 (802.11b) and a Linksys WPC11 (also 802.11b). At least with the Linksys I get a green power light. Any suggestions?? Am I missing a kernel module or subsystem entry??
I use SuSE 9.1 on my desktop, but I am a simple end user, and so I use Linspire on my notebook for wireless. You can get a decent notebook with Linspire on it here, and this store is gnu linux only, no Windows boxes. Also, SuSE will run on their boxes, so they say. I have never tested putting SuSE on their boxes. I just stayed with Linspire:
Many people have issues with the fact that Linspire runs in root, but creating a different user account might be easier for you than trying to tweak wireless cards, etc. Plus, Linspire gives you the ability to play commercial DVDs on Linux, etc.
I'm using an SMC 2835W 802.11G card in my Toshiba Satellite. Configured through YAST and WEP works.
