Okay Ill use this list to actually also for once ask for help .. . Im running SuSE 9.3 retail version. I installed various wireless tools from the DVD. I'm trying to get my wireless internet connection to work. It is router with internet connection & my computer is connected to that (or not in current case xept under Windows) via a Belkin USB wireless adaptor. Can anyone help me ? I had a quick look on LQ & looked through this list .. but its either suspiciously complicated or its bluetooth related. SuSE 10 has improved wireless support I heard (still havent actually ever used it .. although on the list :D) .. any ideas ? Any help is highly appreciated as I really want to have internet under Linux to update the system & do general surfing etc :-) securely The wireless howto on opensuse is blank BTW. ___________________________________________________________ Yahoo!

Hi Winston, I think Belkin uses Ralink chipsets. Verify that by doing a "lspci". If so, load the modules by hand "modprobe rt2400" or rt2500 or rt2570 Look at "dmesg" for any messages...if one of the modules find the device: fine, try a "ifconfig XXX 10.20.30.40 up" (substitute XXX by the devicename from the dmesg output) -- mdc

I did lspci & nothing shows up ...
but an unspecified Belkin device actually shows up
under the hardware list under unknown devices.
I tried lspci after modprobing the said drivers but
nothing changed.
I then did a hardware report via Yast ... of course
Belkin is mentioned a million times .. so here is some
Yast-Info :
HWClassList=00000040000010
Features=0x2
UniqueID=2UT6.0GdnqWQ3B+2
ParentID=k4bc.qji2yEO2H98
HWClass=unknown
Model=Belkin Unclassified device
Configured=new
Available=no

SysfsID=/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:02.2/usb1/1-3/1-3:1.0
SysfsBusID=1-3:1.0
Hotplug=4
The above is shown a few times in the report .
And something else :
57: USB 00.0: 0000 Unclassified device
[Created at usb.122]
Unique ID: wkjR.0GdnqWQ3B+2
Parent ID: k4bc.qji2yEO2H98

So both above are mentioned each maybe at least 4
times every time with very similiar "numbers".

Hi Winston, sorry I was wrong. Try the modules catc pegasus usbnet They are all for some kind of Belkin USB network devices. Maybe one of this works... -- mdc
Hello Winston, Have you tried ndiswrapper? The ndiswrapper package may allow you to use the existing Windows driver under Linux. It looks like several Belkin USB wireless adapters have been reported to work with that package. I am not sure about 9.3 but I know it was included on my 10.0 CDs. Regards, Andy Winston Graeme wrote:

Im running SuSE 9.3 retail version. I installed various wireless tools from the DVD.
I'm trying to get my wireless internet connection to work. It is router with internet connection & my computer is connected to that (or not in current case xept under Windows) via a Belkin USB wireless adaptor.
Can anyone help me ?
I had a quick look on LQ & looked through this list .. but its either suspiciously complicated or its bluetooth related.
SuSE 10 has improved wireless support I heard (still havent actually ever used it .. although on the list :D) .. any ideas ?
Any help is highly appreciated as I really want to have internet under Linux to update the system & do general surfing etc :-) securely
The wireless howto on opensuse is blank BTW.

I've no idea if the belkin usb wireless adaptor will work or not. does anything useful show up in /var/log/messages when you plug and unplug the adapter ? does iwconfig show anything useful ? -- Simon Crute IS&T UKB Novell UK
