I just re-read your question and my reply and I just wanted to clarify one thing: The Orinoco support IS LIMITED to the PCMCIA cards. I don't think it will work with the PCI or USB versions. Avi --On Thursday, September 27, 2001 12:54:56 PM +0800 "Carley, Jason (Hong Kong)" wrote:

Thanks so much for the reply. This list has always impressed me as the best support mechanism in my, albeit limited, Linux experience. Based on the below, I am going to to pick up 7.2.

regards,

Jason.

Yes and yes.

For the geforce3, I'd recommend upgrading to X 4.1.0 (available from ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/supplementary/X/XFree86/XFree86-4.1.0-Su SE /suse72/) and the latest Nvidia drivers from http://www.nvidia.com/view.asp?PAGE=linux (make sure to pick the SuSE drivers).

As for the Orinoco, support is right out of the box.

however will I be able to install and run under Xwindows on my geforce3 based system? i know acceleration etc are not going to be there without updating the servers or all of XFree86 but will it work? I have looked pretty extensively at the web sites etc and can't decide what the answer is?

Also, I have a Orinoco based wireless network. Does anyone know if the drivers for this are included with suse 7.2? I think only PCMCIA drivers exists and USB clients are currently unsupported in Linux. Again i have searched without much luck for an answer?
