PCMCIA Network Card Problems


have a Motorola WN825G wireless network card i can't seem to get to work. Am using SuSE Linux which was installed approx. 1 week ago. PCMCIA slot is working, and card seems to be powered and recognized by system, but no internet connection is available.

I'm not convinced that the drivers are correctly installed, but i'm not very sure how to check that or how to look for a wireless signal to connect to.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,

John

over at the HCL on the upper right hand corner i found this: motorola card

your going to want to get ndiswrapper from http://ndiswrapper.sourceforge.net. it uses your windows driver files to run the card. instructions can be found on ndiswrappers website and searching the forums. i can't speak for suse because i haven't used it, but i just saw several threads under the Wireless Networking forum above regarding suse and nsidwrapper.

if ndiswrapper doesn't work, and you got extra cash Linuxant driverloader costs 20 bucks and worked well for me.
