Hello all, Can anybody point me in the direction of a list of natively supported wireless cards for Suse 10.0, 802.11b is ok, or maybe if you have one let me know which one is working for you. I did do a google and found a few outdated and cryptic pages. What I have available (purchased) is a Linksys WUSB11V4. I have tried quite a few things I found when googling but none have come close to functioning, I have built the latest version of ndiswrapper I could find when I started and also tried the drivers that came with the unit and I d/l what was the latest from the web site. Thanks, Mike

I've installed SUSE on two different laptops both with Intel 2200b/g cards which both worked out of the box. My Dell system is running currently with 10.1 and has worked with 9.3 and 10.0 as well. My Gateway is running with 10.1 HTH!! Good luck out there. -- Kai Ponte www.perfectreign.com || www.4thedadz.com remember - a turn signal is a statement, not a request

I will check this out and add it to my list, thanks. My original looking was on the Suse site, but they do not support ndiswrapper, and I did not find any good info on fully supported cards. After I wrote the message I did a little mode digging and came up with this: http://nextgen.no-ip.org/~andrew/linux/ndiswrapper/ndiswrapperinfo10-32bit.p... It looks like it may be working, but I have to check the routing. SuseDesktop:~ # ifstatus wlan0 wlan0 wlan0 configuration: wlan-bus-usb wlan0 is up 6: wlan0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast qlen 1000 link/ether 00:12:17:97:f9:4a brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff inet 10.128.128.251/24 brd 10.128.128.255 scope global wlan0 inet6 fe80::212:17ff:fe97:f94a/64 scope link valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever wlan0 IP address: 10.128.128.251/24 Configured routes for interface wlan0: default 10.128.128.1 - - Active routes for interface wlan0: 10.128.128.0/24 proto kernel scope link src 10.128.128.251 default via 10.128.128.1 0 of 1 configured routes for interface wlan0 up wlan0 IEEE 802.11b ESSID:"linksys" Nickname:"SuseDesktop" Mode:Managed Frequency:2.462 GHz Access Point: 00:0C:41:68:45:E8 Bit Rate=11 Mb/s RTS thr=2432 B Fragment thr=2432 B Encryption key:off Power Management:off Link Quality:0/100 Signal level:-25 dBm Noise level:-256 dBm Rx invalid nwid:0 Rx invalid crypt:0 Rx invalid frag:0 Tx excessive retries:0 Invalid misc:0 Missed beacon:0 Not sure why the link quality is 0, maybe because no no data xfer yet. I have a WAP at 10.128.128.250 that gets routed to the router (10.128.128.1) so I guess I need to figure that out to get the final connection.

Thanks to those who replied, I think I have most of it, I think to do the rest of the testing I have to disable the wired network or create 2 profiles to switch between. Thanks again, Mike
