Is anyone use any of the Intel PROWireless mini-PCI wireless cards? If so, are the drivers good? I recently ended up with an HP nx9010 as part of payment for some work. 10.1 runs VERY well on it, but it didn't ship with wireless. Thanks!

Yes, that card is pretty good Fred. Better than the broadcom. I installed linux on one for a friend and it just worked out of the box. -- _____________________________________ John Andersen

If you have to buy one, i recommend getting an atheros based mini-pci card instead of the intel card. It has far better support outside the windows community. Also most of them have more power, and hence give you more range. -- Jeroen -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

I could have used that, but ended up doing something entirely different just to get this project done! Thanks! Fred -- MickySoft, the ultimate corporate parasite. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

How well do those Atheros or other cards work with KWiFiManager? The card that came with my ThinkPad doesn't. It's an Actiontec Prism 2.5 Wavelan. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Belkins, or any with the Ralink RT25xx series will work extremely well. I have belkin plugged into my thinkpad and have never had a problem.

Well, I had many problems with SUSE linux considering my wireless (and even ethernet) on my laptop. First, I discovered on forums that SUSE linux by default closes the interaction between ethernet or wireless ports and PCI cards, and we have to boot linux with the option acpi=off. I tried the option and networking works good for me. I was lucky to have my IntelPro Wireless card identified by the SUSE, but my friends faced some problems. Our IT manager got a package called MadWiFI, It's an open source package that identifies the WIFI cards on linux systems. u can try it. I wish this could help u... Regards,... TheOldWiseKing Fred A.

I recently ended up with an HP nx9010 as part of payment for some work. 10.1 runs VERY well on it, but it didn't ship with wireless. I would look up the model product number of the notebook (it's printed on the back, not the nx9010 but the longer more specific one), then search for that on HP's website, and look up a compatible wireless card.
My HP nx6125 (Product: PY416EA#ABB) shipped with a Broadcom card, which was a bit unstable initially (although ndiswrapper has improved greatly since), and I decided to get an Intel card. When I put it in, the notebook wouln't even post - just comes up with an error saying something to the effect of: "unsupported wireless device detected, please remove." And that's as far as it goes.

How is that germane ? Freds notebook is sold by the manufacturer with a choice of wifi cards, one of which being the intel. It just so happens his shipped without that option. He wasn't picking a card at random. He did his homework. -- _____________________________________ John Andersen
