Installed Suse 9.2 pro on Compaq R3240US laptop with AMD 64 bit chip. Unit is dual booted with Windows on other side of partition. Wireless works on Windows side but totally inoperative in Linux. Was the same with Suse 9.1 version. Can't configure with Yast. Does anyone know if I need a special driver? I'm still the same user level guy and have no clue as to how to fix. Any help appreciated. Brock
you will need the new ndiswrapper from "http://ndiswrapper.sourceforge.net/" however, it is brand new, and though some people have gotten it to work, it still fails for me. the 64 bit windows drivers can be downloaded at "http://ubuntuforums.org/attachment.php?attachmentid=186" I get a kernel oops message when I try. Hopefully your experience will be better. On Wednesday 19 January 2005 17:18, Brock Inglehart wrote:

Please don't top-post. The alternative is to try the Linuxant driver (www.linuxant.com) which works for me on my HP zd7000 and its Broadcomm chip. It is a commercial product, though there is a 30 day trial, but well worth it, IMHO.

Please don't tell people not to top-post.
Why not? It's an irritating habit that breaks the flow of the thread. At least in a Linux mailing list, I would expect people to adhere to netiquette, in the interests of making everyone's life easier. I see nothing wrong with drawing it to the poster's attention, in case they are not familiar with the practice.

bottom-posting was a *required* _norm_ before SuSE/linux existed, definitely before LookOut and billy-boy decided to try to force change upon the rest of the world. http://www.caliburn.nl/topposting.html -- Patrick Shanahan Registered Linux User #207535 http://wahoo.no-ip.org @ http://counter.li.org HOG # US1244711 Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/photos
