All,
I find the bulk of information regarding wireless setup and
configuration a source of confusion in and of itself. There needs to be
a consolidated and streamed line manner of explaining how to do so.
Given the mired of distributions the one one sure way to alleviate
confusion is for configuration by the command line. I'd very much like
to personally receive instructions on how to get my Motorola WN825G
pcmcia wireless nic (command line and/or YaST). The system it is a
AMD64 R3000, running SuSe 10.0 RC1 x86-64.
I have copied the drivers bcmwl5.inf and bcmwl5a.inf to my home
directory (/home/oprogue)
I have ran:
ndiswrapper -i /home/oprogue/bcmwl5.inf
ndiswrapper -i /home/oprogue/bcmwl5a.inf
linux:~ # ndiswrapper -l
Installed ndis drivers:
bcmwl5 driver present, hardware present
bcmwl5a driver present, hardware present
linux:~ #
linux:~ # ndiswrapper -m
modprobe config already contains alias directive
linux:~ # modprobe ndiswrapper
FATAL: Module ndiswrapper not found.
linux:~ #
linux:~ # lspci -v

so the system sees the nic ... BUT ... I do not see the nic listed in
YaST and can not configure it or turn it on. If someone can provide me
with some instructions it would be most appreciated. Do I need to do
something with the bcmwl5.sys file?
Thanks in advance!

Use the Linuxant WLAN Driverloader.
Works like a charm and is easy to install (and comes in a 64 flavor).

Or just try ndiswrapper, it's free and easy to setup :P
