I bought for a new system a Netgear WG311T wireless PCI adapter. (I could not find an Intel wireless and people seem to have luck with this one.)
I looked on how to install (after writing the company and asking why they don't support Linux natively) and found various instructions.

That is one supposedly for openSUSE 10.3, which I'm running (with KDE of course).
However, when I go to the Network settings screen of YaST, it lists the network card (there is also a Dell 86562V-2 10/100 NIC) but says, "Unable to configure the network card because the kernel device is not present."
I've rebooted to ensure madwifi is installed - I have listed 0.9.3.99-36 in YaST.
What am I missing? Do I need to somehow bind madwifi to the kernel?
I had one of these until I gave it to someone with windoze. Ndiswrapper is the only way I got it to work, even partially. I have forgotten what didn't match with madwifi, but I never got the nic to do anything with that driver.
Yuck.
I know I asked previously, but can't find the posts - do you have any suggestions as to PCI Wifi cards that work?
I know there used to be a hardware compatibility. I haven't looked in a few years since SuSE became openSUSE.
Any card with the broadcom 4318 chip. The new ssb + b43 modules in 11.0 really work well with these modules loaded. Ed -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
