Hello,
I'm working with Suse10.2 on a Acer Ferrari serie
laptop 64b furnished with a Broadcom BCM4318 and this
hardware fails to connect with a router for wireless
access. Once installed I have:
ifconfig -a
eth0 Lien encap:Ethernet HWaddr
00:16:36:24:FC:51
UP BROADCAST MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1
RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0

RX bytes:20033 (19.5 Kb) TX bytes:20033
(19.5 Kb)
To be connected I'm using ndiswrapper, doing:
ndiswrapper -i acer*/80211g-x64/WL*/bcmwl5.inf
installing bcmwl5 ...
forcing parameter IBSSGMode from 0 to 2
then I'm doing:
modprobe ndiswrapper
No change occur on the list whem I'm typing again:
ifconfig -a
When I'm trying to set up eth0 or eth1, I have an
answer to say that both interfaces are managed by
knetworkmanager; but this utility himself is unable to
detect any wireless network!!
What can I do? Reinstall Suse without kNetwokManager?
Or create a new interface which is not managed by
kNetworkManager? But how to proceed??
Thank you in advance for sugestions
Regards
Michel
