The following link give a fairly comprehensive set of information on WiFI and Linux. I have found the openSuse stuff to be a little thin. There is a bit of a problem with 64 operating systems and WiFi drivers for both Windows and Linux users in so far as suppliers tend not to create 32 bit drivers and 32 bit drivers generally do not work with 64 bit operating systems. The NDISwrapper site of sourceforge is a lso a good resource. Good luck.... http://www.hpl.hp.com/personal/Jean_Tourrilhes/Linux/
