Excellent. Now what does /var/log/messages say ? Open an xterm, su to root, then type "tail -f .var/log/messages" without the quotes. /Dee On (19/07/02 01:50), arawak wrote:

The Netgear MA401 blown its self up, lights out... lolol After all that trying to get it working ... it is physically dead died, tried it in both of my two laptops... ??? So I send it back to Netgear & it's not the first time this has happened too..:( Lucky me though have got a 2nd MA401 to try, and my girlfriend has 2 more that I can use...:-> I've worked out that I needed the Suse 8 sources & development packages... And also I upgraded over the top of 7.3 when I installed Suse 8.0. So instead of working out what is needed I think the best thing is to re-install Suse 8.0 fresh with sources , gcc, gpp, make, pmake etc... It's a good thing to learn by mistakes about linux, but as long as it doesn't take eons to sort out. Also have lots of patience..;) So onward christian soldiers marching as to Linux (war) lol...
