I'm a little bit confused: Are you A:) using SuSE 10 beta with a package (ndiswrapper) from SuSE 9.2 or are you B:) using SuSE 9.2 completely and this has nothing to do with OpenSuSE ? If A:) is correct, then i would advise you to use the ndiswrapper-package which is shipped with SuSE 10 If B:) is correct, then i would suggest that you have to download a newer version of ndiswrapper, compile it by yourself and look whether it works now or not. Also i would suggest that you should look around for the right mailinglist, because this list is only for the upcoming SuSE 10. regards, Jens --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
