: I have just ftp installed SuSE 9.1 on my Gateway Profile 3 (originally had Mandrake 10.0 on it, but the Network browsing wasn't working very well so I decided to give SuSE another try). For anyone unfamiliar with this model, take a look at http://products.gateway.com/products/GConfig/prodDetails.asp? system_id=prf5m1&seg=sb
Anyway, these machines have PCMCIA slots like laptops and I have a 3Com Wireless card (3CRPAG175) that worked flawlessly when this machine had Windows XP home on it. YaST detected the 3Com Wireless Card and has the network installed on it, but now the card is just sitting here blinking at me. How do I configure the WEP for the card so I can connect to my access point and see what my signal strength is.
Thanks in advance

Go to www.linuxant.com for a free 30 day download, I think the driver is 15 bucks. I use it for my built-in broadcom and it works flawlessly.

So SuSE doesn't have a built in Wireless Module, and there aren't any that work for Linux? All I need to do is put it the SSID and the 128 bit key.
