This pc card network adapter works fine. However, do not use the rt2500pci module supplied with Suse, but the rt2500 module supplied by http://rt2x00.serialmonkey.com/wiki/index.php?title=Main_Page.
Installation instructions:
- First, remove the default rt2500 driver from openSuSE 10.2: modprobe -r rt2500pci (as root)
- prepare your kernel source:
- cd /usr/src/linux
- make mrproper (if uname -p yields i686 but no such directory exists, try a ln -s /usr/src/linux/arch/i386 i686; not sure if that is the best solution)
- make cloneconfig
- make modules_prepare
- Download the latest CVS-daily from this site
- Unzip/tar the CVS-daily, enter the “Module” directory and execute make
- make install (as root)
- iwconfig (if the ra0 or wlan0 shows “no wireless extensions” or nothing), then:
- modprobe rt2500
