Hi,
I am investigating obtaining a wireless AP to add into my wired network so that a wireless laptop can be used on occasions.
I have decided on the D-Link DWL-7100AP 802.11abg WAP to allow older wireless devices to still interact. I plan to plug the WAP into one of the switch ports and party, wirelessly. :)
I have tried to ascertain its SuSE compatibility by going to the hwdb at http://hardwaredb.suse.de/index.php?LANG=en_UK but have not had success.
Does this hardware unit work, despite the wired network OS(Windows and Linux)?
If you're talking a wireless router here... (and I assume that is the case), almost every wireless router should work because they have nothing to do whatever with Linux (unless they run it internally and then its transparent) It's just another piece of network gear like a hub or a switch.
