[opensuse] wireless card driver for Acer Aspire 9300
Hello, I am looking for the opensuse 10.2 web page that lists drivers for specific hardware (laptops); can someone point me to that? Can't seem to detect the wireless card for the Acer Aspire 9300. Many thanks, James -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
Hello What is the manufacture of your wireless, chipset. If you have windows running in the computer you can find this infomation there. Have you looked in the output of dmesg. It can also be found in the specification from Acer. So how is your italian? http://www.ziobudda.net/aspire_9300 On Sunday 26 August 2007 12:23, James D. Parra wrote:

About halfway through the list of resources in his computer, he finds: "note: il wi-fi e' riconosciuto come ATHEROS AR5005G e richiede idriver MADWIFI(licenza non open???)" Notes: The wi-fi is recognized as ATHEROS AR5005G and requires drivers MADWIFI (non-open license?) There are several other references to wi-fi, but they are general descriptions in nature. This is the only specific information. John Perry -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Sorry -- spoke too soon. Not being a linux expert, I don't know if the following is of any significance or not; it was at the end of the page: nomehost:~ # lspci . . . dm_mod 60184 0 wlan_scan_sta 17280 1 pcmcia 40892 0 firmware_class 14080 1 pcmcia nvidia 4720820 22 ath_pci 95648 0 ide_cd 42272 0 cdrom 38432 1 ide_cd ath_rate_sample 18304 1 ath_pci wlan 189532 4 wlan_scan_sta,ath_pci,ath_rate_sample yenta_socket 30348 1 . . . jp -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
