ah ups see that the re: is missing. With Verner wondered if he wants information on his wifi-card. Like Verner have a HP Pavilion and haven't figured out how to make my wifi work yet, maybe Verner has the same aspect to solve. ran the su and your command hwinfo --wlan and interesting things shows up :) > linux-nklap:/home/niels # hwinfo --wlan > 06: PCI 09.0: 0200 Ethernet controller > [Created at pci.286] > UDI: /org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/pci_14e4_4320 > Unique ID: JNkJ.H7HiZj5D5IC > SysFS ID: /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:09.0 > SysFS BusID: 0000:00:09.0 > Hardware Class: network > Model: "Compaq BCM4306 802.11b/g Wireless LAN Controller" > Vendor: pci 0x14e4 "Broadcom" > Device: pci 0x4320 "BCM4306 802.11b/g Wireless LAN Controller" > SubVendor: pci 0x0e11 "Compaq Computer Corporation" > SubDevice: pci 0x00e7 > Revision: 0x02 > Driver: "bcm43xx" > Driver Modules: "bcm43xx" > Device File: eth1 > Features: WLAN > Memory Range: 0xd0002000-0xd0003fff (rw,non-prefetchable) > IRQ: 10 (no events) > HW Address: 00:90:4b:45:33:61 > Link detected: no > WLAN channels: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 > WLAN frequencies: 2.412e-05 2.417e-05 2.422e-05 2.427e-05 2.432e-05 > 2.437e-05 2.442e-05 2.447e-05 2.452e-05 2.457e-05 2.462e-05 2.467e-05 > 2.472e-05 2.484e-05 > WLAN bitrates: 1.2e-05 1.8e-05 2.4e-05 3.6e-05 4.8e-05 7.2e-05 9.6e-05 > 0.000108 2e-06 4e-06 1.1e-05 2.2e-05 > WLAN encryption modes: WEP40 WEP104 TKIP CCMP > WLAN authentication modes: open sharedkey wpa-psk wpa-eap wpa-leap > Module Alias: "pci:v000014E4d00004320sv00000E11sd000000E7bc02sc80i00" > Driver Info #0: > Driver Status: bcm43xx is active > Driver Activation Cmd: "modprobe bcm43xx" > Config Status: cfg=no, avail=yes, need=no, active=unknown so will be interesting if Verner's install came as long as this. :) -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.5 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with SUSE - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFFqPbg0F77CaBDYxMRAl6XAJ9jC4TgM9j7b4ResqZI7ftzQ+gAfwCePF4G owTSs6GaFGo3rZH9N2zgjbg= =6jXh -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
