Guys, Can we get back on subject here. I started this thread asking about help/experience with the built-in wireless setup under SuSE 8.1 and it has digressed to cups vs lprng.
Could people please offer suggestions about wireless. Again, I have got the card recognized, symlinked to eth-pcmcia-0, but it doesn't see the WAP. I will keep trying and post a "How I did it" once/if I get it going. Best Regards, Keith B.
