Here's my problem trying to get the card to work in IBM TP600e I can see that the card light is on permanently... But even after a check of the config files the route command shows as blank . Anyone can help if they have a similar working configuration & tell me how they did it ?

lots snipped Here is the information that I have been providing other users of the Netgear MA401RA card. Note my laptop is a Toshiba with a built in lan set as eth0, so the Netgear card is shown as eth0. YMMV. --------------------------- Be sure to review the SuSE guide for getting wireless cards to work: http://sdb.suse.de/en/sdb/html/wavelan.html As per the SuSE SDB on wireless LANs, I used cardctl ident to see that my card was recognized as: product info: "Netgear MA401RA Wireless PC" manfid: 0x000b, 0x7300 function: 6 (network) Then go to /etc/pcmcia/wlan-ng.conf and find the reference to this card. I found that there were 2 references similar to this. Comment out (#) the least similar one and then change the other one to: card "Netgear MA401RA Wireless PC" manfid 0x000b, 0x7300 bind orinco-cs Might was well check /etc/pcmcia/config while you are at it. I think this file already has the Netgear showing a bind to the orinco driver, if not bind the orinco driver to the Netgear card. Then edit /etc/modules.conf by adding alias eth1 orinco-cs This is added near the top of this file. I have a built in lan card automatically set to eth0, so my pcmcia wireless card becomes eth1. You will need to match your hardware configuration. Then I used YaST to set up the wireless card. The above modifications establish this card as wireless, but not as a pcmcia card. Set Yast to wireless and select the orinco module (not pcmcia) then wireless settings as per your needs ESSID, mode, etc. I set my mode to managed. BTW, just checked another file on my laptop and while I set the card as wireless from YaST, there is an /etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg-eth-pcmcia file and an ifcfg-eth0 but no ifcfg-eth1 file. So maybe SuSE is somewhat recognizing the card as a pcmcia card. This file has the following settings; BOOTPRO='dhcp' DHCLIENT_SET_DOWN_LINK='yes' MTU=' ' STARTMODE='hotplug' UNIQUE=' ' WIRELESS='yes' WIRELESS=ESSID='whatever' WIRELESS_KEY='whatever' WIRELESS_MODE='managed' WIRELESS_NICK=' ' WIRELESS_NWID=' ' Then: sux password ifconfig eth1 up dhcpcd eth1 and it works! -------------------------------------------------- Lots of luck with your setup. The above setup has been used by several people so it should work for you or at least give you a good starting point. -- Ralph Sanford - If your government does not trust you, rsanford@telusplanet.net - should you trust your government?
