Hello:
I'm new to Suse and I am not an expert in Linux. I want to configure my
wireless Linksys WUSB11 Version 2.6 nic with Atmel chipset. The driver
of
the device is correctly loaded in the kernel (at76_usb), and Yast2
detects
the card all right. Problem is, when I try to configure the card the
platform announces it will install the atmel-firmware, but upon
accepting it
installs nothing. I have loaded the firmware .bin files in
/lib/modules/uname -r/kernel/drivers/firmware/, but still Yast2
attempts to
install the firmware. I have thought that maybe installing the firmware
package Yast2 will detect the package installed an will allow me to
configure my nic. But I am afraid I have not an idea of what to choose
among: "atmel-firmware-1.3-1.noarch.rpm" or
"atmel-firmware-1.3-1.src.rpm"
or "atmel-firmware-1.3-1fc3.src.rpm" or lastly:
"atmel-firmware-1.3-1fc3.noarch.rpm". My box is an AMD64.
I tried writing the configuration file "ifcfg-wlan0" in
/etc/sysconfig/network, but Yast2 detected this as another (absent)
interface.
Any help will be appreciated.

Try extracting the firmware to /lib/firmware; that is where mine went
when I executed the fwcutter program. However, my card is a BCM43XX.
There may not be a firmware cutter for your card.
Thank you. I can't place the .bin files in /lib/firmware. I get:
"permission denied" every time I try to copy them there as a root. I just
cannot explain myself why I can get the permission to write in that folder
denied if I am root. Maybe you can tell me something. And what is a
firmware cutter?
Actually, now that I check, I don't have a /lib/firmware directory. Should I
create it?
