[opensuse] installation of Suse10.2 on a laptop Acer Ferrari
Hello, I've recently installed a downloaded version of Suse10.2 on a laptop Acer serie "Ferrari 4000" (4005WLMi); hardware configuration and results are as follows: - The hardware is provided with an AMD Thurion 64 mobile tech on an 86x64 architecture - there is 2Go RAM - graphical card is an ATI mobility radeon x700: it is correctly detected and configurated and works perfectly except that I haven't yet tested 3D acceleration - IEEE1394 card is correctly configurated but not yet tested - USB controller is correctly detected and works very well - PCMCIA and modem are correctly detected but not yet tested - sound card is correctly detected and works nicely Problems concerns essentially wireless network and especially Bluetooth; once all packages have ben installed, I found no mean to create a connection with my wirelessmouse neither with an other device such a smartphone; nevertheless, there is no particular error in the syslog: /var/log/messages and the bluetooth adaptator is correcly detected; when I'm doing service bluetooth restart, I have no error printed on the screen. It appears that the hardware for this functionnality comes from Broadcam (it is a BCM2035 controller) but curiously it doesn't present on the product list of this provider (there is BCM2037 but no BCM2035) Second question concerns how to establish a wireless connection with a router: here again, hardware comes from Broadcom (BCM4318 AirForceOne) and this manufacturer provides no driver for other OS than Windows, so m'I obliged to proceed through ndiswrapper or is there any specific 'Braodcom' solution?? Any suggestion? Thank you in advance Best regards Michel -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

I have the same setup and all is working. The Bluetooth seemed to have a mind of its own during configuration but by remembering to manually turn it on (push the button that is also the indicator light) and being patient it finally found the Acer mouse. Once the software is running on the laptop you have to push the little recessed button on the bottom of the mouse too. I used the commercial solution to get wireless working - cost $20.00 at www.linuxant.com -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
Thank you for your answer but I'm really surprised about it, concerning bluetooth, if I'm doing hciconfig hci0 piscan I've in the syslog following message: hci_cmd_task: hci0 command tx timeout and on the console: Can't set mode on hci0: Connection timed out (110) Nevertheless, recessed button of the mouse is activated; available daemons are hci, sdp, hid, hid2rci I precise too that hardware is not at all responsible; this works perfectly under Mandriva2006 Regards Michel --- "J.
