I installed recently linux suse 10.2. I also installed in the computer a wireless pci adapter
(trendnet tew-443pi), which I read in some sites will work with madwifi. Since my computer is not connected to the internet I copied to a cd the file
madwifi-0.9.2.1-0.1.i586.rpm (is this the file I need?)
Then I copied that file to my home directory in the linux computer. It seems that it run. But I still cannot
make the card work (I have a wireless network at home).
Do I need ndiswrapper instead of madwifi? What is the difference between the two?
Could someone tell me if I did something wrong? What are the right steps? If someone can
give me all the steps I have to follow in detail, I will be really greatful. THANKS!

Post output from the command ' /sbin/lspci -v '. This should help to determine the chipset. No since going down the wrong road. It may end up needing ndiswrapper with the inf driver from windows.
That file is probably part of what you need. Was it for the current running kernel you have?
To current running kernel ' uname -r '.

Not a suse user but for now you might search the HCL section here at the top or to the right to see if listed. Also search the forum for the card model. Maybe for suse and madwifi if atheros based card.
