One of the things you might do is look at what dmesg says about your card. I had an awful time finding a wireless card that worked with my notebook and SuSE 9.1. (I own 9.2-Professional now) I ended up with a card by Symbol Technologies (a Nortel card with a big antenna) that was plug and play. I put it in, SuSE auto-detected it and whammo, I was up and running - though I did have to create a "profile" for wireless in which I disabled the eth0 regular ethernet, the routing seems to get messed up. Try dmesg and then google the specific model. Hope it helps a bit. Charles p.s. I've heard certain Linksys models work, certain others don't, which is why I suggested googling by the model. -- Charles McColm, charm@porchlight.ca http://tuxspot.blogspot.com/
