Another SuSE letdown I bought a well established smc wireless pci card thinking
foolishly it surely will work with SuSE 9.2.
I have a wireless pci card on Suse9.2 it is
a SMC2802W v2 wireless access Adapter
when installed by the hardware detect it uses the prism54
driver.
It appeared to be configured but doesn't connect.
It is configured as eth0 and ifconfig does not give it
a hardware address (all zeros)
Hardware detects it under pci as SMC2802W v2 wireless access Adapter
with driver as prism 54
and device as Intersil Adapter ISL3840 (PrismGT/Prism duette)
if I use iwconfig it says NOT READY! ESSID
ff/any Mode: Managed
Anyone can help in telling me whats wrong or is the driver incorrect?
