I got mine to work using what Keith said on the 30/05/02 First *THANKS* to Keith Winston and Joshua Marshall for their posts on ho= w to=20 configure my Netgear MA401 under SuSE 8.0. Using Keith's write up I found that I had to make only 3 changes: 1. /etc/sysconfig/pcmcia change PCMCIA_SYSTEM=3D"external" 2. /etc/sysconfig/hotplug change HOTPLUG_NET_DEFAULT_HARDWARE=3Dpcmcia 3. /etc/pcmcia/wlan-ng.conf change the statement card "NETGEAR MA401 11Mbps 802.11 WLAN Card" to comment out the bind "prism2_cs" and insert bind "orinoco_cs" Then a reboot and all is well. The card did not require any other=20 customization and it works just fine. Dre :-> Luck is my game ;-) Linux is my aim :) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------- I have three PCI WiFi cards. The Lucent Gold card and the Farallon Skyline cards both work under SuSE 8.0 - AFTER the patches were posted to fix the initial deeply broken PCMCIA weirdness. I have NOT been able to get my Netgear MA401 card to work; I wish I could - it offers superior range & performance. I also would be quite grateful to any info on how to get the Netgear card to work. -r-
