Hello,
I am having a frustrating time trying to get my wireless interenet card to work on SUSE 10.2 using ndiswrapper.

My card is a Linksys wpc54G v.2

I had it installed and working well when I had SUSE 9.3 but a few days ago I updated to SUSE 10.2 and now it doesnt work.

I followed the instructions posted on the ndiswrapper wiki.

So far the card seems to be able to detect the wireless router, associate with the wireless router and connect successfully to the wireless router using kinternet.So the card is suppossed to be working

Unfortunately I dont know why whenever I try to use firefox I dont get any pages to load up.

Is there something else I have to do?

I FIXED THE PROBLEM!!!!!!! WHEEE

Oh man what a relief.

Ok here is how I got it to work.

I reinstalled opensuse 10.2 ( I did a clean install)

And I also installed the packages for ndiswrapper included in the install CD
and then I followed the instructions posted in the ndiswrapper wiki for SUSE 9.2

obviously I didnt do any of the ifup stuff I just used the network manager that comes with Opensuse and rebooted the computer. Once I rebooted I used the network manager and the card worked!
