I recently got a new used laptop. I installed SuSE 9.1 and everything worked just as I expected. The computer came with a Cisco 350. I have never used one but had always heard good things about them, so decided to go with it. It installed fine SuSE found it and installed it, I attached to the network fine. The odd thing to me is the following iwconfig output. I only have one wireless card installed but iwconfig shows two identical configurations. Is this normal? I think not, I could be wrong though. If as I suspect it is not, how should I proceed?
