Thanks for the pointer. While I didn't find a real solution in the posts there, it did give information that helped me find the problem. The /etc/pcmcia/wlan-ng.conf file contains TWO entries that match the DWL-650. To get the card working, one needs to change the first (the one that says DWL-650) to use orinoco_cs instead of prism2_cs: card "D-Link DWL-650 11Mbps 802.11b WLAN Card" version "D", "Link DWL-650 11Mbps WLAN Card", "Version 01.02" bind "orinoco_cs" And comment out the second one (3rd one down): #card "Intersil PRISM2 Reference Design 11Mb/s WLAN Card" # manfid 0x0156, 0x0002 # bind "prism2_cs" Once that is done, restart the machine (or SIGHUP cardmgr), insert the card and it comes up as eth0. (Note that this solution assumes external PCMCIA is used, which I think is the default in SuSE.) Alain On Fri, May 17, 2002 at 10:00:59AM -0500, Rodd Ahrenstorff wrote:

Anyone know how to get this card to work on SuSE 8.0?

Thanks, Alain

Alain, I know there was a big discussion of this wireless NIC (or similar using the same driver) on the SuSE news list. Check that using Knode for mucho info....(alt.os.linux.suse) do a search for 'wireless'.

Hope that helps...
