For a start have a look here, http://en.opensuse.org/WiFi_HOWTO You will have to poke around a bit to see the current state of different cards and approaches. If your card won't work directly with Linux, there is a work around. You should be able to use ndiswrapper. Here you use this as a wrapper for your windows wifi driver. This method works well for me using an SMC USB g adapter. It took a little bit of tweaking, but its not that hard. See here, http://en.opensuse.org/Ndiswrapper Note the part that says "Loading Ndiswrapper at Boot (opensuse 10.3)". After I got the windows driver to work, the thing would not come up after reboot, and I had to do that part to get it to load at boot. I don't know at all how well, or even if this works with suse 10.0. Mine works in 10.3. Jim F -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
