A friend of mine installed Opensuse 10.2 for the first time with dual boot on his previously WinXp only PC (with my inducement and help). Everything went well with the exception of the LAN card which just does not get detected. So I swapped my Realtec card with his and his PC is working fine. I have his Silan sc92031 based LAN card on MY PC now. I also have a wifi card on my pc. On googling i found that this card is supported on the new 2.6.22.1 kernel. The new kernel was downloaded and compiled. After booting with the 2.6.22.1 kernel ,the card gets detected by yast2. But it fails to function. ifconfig does not show its presence. In fact with the new kernel the ndiswrapper module has also disappeared through which I am using my wg311 wifi. So I have to boot from my previous 2.6.18 kernel to use the wifi. But I am left with an unusable LAN card (silan) on my pc. Can anyone help me with my problem?
