i got an ibm thinkpad 240x and linux suse 8.2 on it!
my wlan device is an belkin 54g pcmcia (F5D7010)

i downloaded the linuxant driverloader 1.25 from www linuxant com


i installed the rpm package as i is thought by their howto install the problem is: that the lan seems to work
because if i set the ESSID on my laptop to "linux-wlan"
i can see them on my windows system but i cannot see any wlan on my laptop
and therefore i cannot connect to any other pc
i also cannot ping anyone


if i type "iwconfig" it says:

lo no wireless extension
sit0 no wireless extension
eth0 IEEE 802.11g ESSID:"" Nickname:"Linux-Ibm-wlan"

sometimes is tells me the real Essid i had entered (Wlan-home)

if i type iwlist scanning then it shows:

sit0 Interface doesn`t support scanning: Invalid argument
