I use the D-Link DWL-G122, H/W Ver. C1 and it deos _not_ need ndiswrapper, there are linux native drivers vor it. Install the kernel modules taking care of Ralink ... Works like a charm with Networkmanager / knetworkmanager
For my configuration it is the kernel module rt2x00-kmp-default-2.0.6+git20070816_2.6.22.13_0.2-1.1
When installation step, the installation system detects it perfectly. But failed to save the configuration file. And when came to network detection (after asking root password etc), it didn't recognize the device. So i setup using Ndiswrapper and followed the docs. Anyway, can you explain more detail about it?
Thanks,

This is a while ago and it just worked, thus I did not take any notes... but ok, I try: Assuming you run 10.3 with a recent kernel. I don't remember if it was already working with the kernel and rt2x00-kmp out of the box, mainly because when I installed it I had already updated the kernel several times. - Install the rt2x00 module for your kernel; probably a reboot is helpful after that - do not load ndiswrapper, unload it if needed, and make sure it does not get loaded when rebooting. This might not matter as long as you have no win drivers for the DWL-G122 installed, but better be sure, and you won't need them anyway. - plug in the DWL-G122 - knetworkmanager will open a window and ask for connection details Note: IIRC I did not setup the card directly with Yast. It is managed through knetworkmanager / networkmanager HTH, Matt PS Adinda, if you send your replies to the list and not only to me directly, I can see them, otherwise they end up in the spam box.

Sounds right, except for the reboot - doh! no windoze involved, so we just need a modprobe, not a reboot. Joe -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Well, Joe, actually, this "probably helpful reboot" was mentioned because there could have been some windoze involved - if ndiswrapper was used and a windoze driver was loaded ... better reboot to get all relicts of evil out of memory ;) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Would be simpler to just unload the kernel module - DUH. -- Ken Schneider SuSe since Version 5.2, June 1998 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
