So, what sort of usb wireless dongle is recommended? Which ones work well, out of the box with suse 10.3, natively supported, without ndiswrapper?
Another option (as opposed to external dongle) is to try Linuxant (http://www.linuxant.com) Working on the same principle as ndiswrapper, they might have better support for new drivers/hardware.
Thanks for the tip, but after checking it out, I have no greater success with the linuxant driverloader - here are the syslog messages associated with the attempt: Mar 6 14:09:52 media-server kernel: Symbol usb_register_driver is being used by a non-GPL module, which will not be allowed in the future Mar 6 14:09:52 media-server kernel: Please see the file Documentation/feature-removal-schedule.txt in the kernel source tree for more details.
