Hi all,
Problem: I cannot connect to the network!!
Description: I am running SUSE 9.1 on my Compaq armada M700 with a Xterasys XN2422G network card. I managed to configure the card using the windows drivers and Ndiswrapper. I can see that the card is active and is powered (lights flashing).
This is the information that I managed to get about the card and the routers around me.
# modprobe ndiswrapper
# iwconfig wlan0 essid 'Strathclyde'
# iwconfig
lo no wireless extensions.
sit0 no wireless extensions.
eth0 no wireless extensions.

It looks to me (in my ignorance) as if the signal is too low to connect to any of the cells. However, I can connect to the network via cell03 from the same place if I use the same hardware running Win2000.
Can anyone give me a hand please??
Very much appreciated.
