hey guys. i'm having this trouble too. i think i already posted above, but i just came from playing soccer and can't rem. so, here is the problem that i'm thinking. mabe ndis... didn't install properly and so there doesn't exist ndiswrapper.ko? i'ver searched my computer, but nothing. I am using suse 9.3 pro and installed it straight from dvd. i remmember installing the ndiswrapper kernel modules, so this makes me think that it's named something else...am i right? instead of ndiswrapper.ko is it named something else? ndiswrapper.o? or something? i'm not entirely a newbie, but i dont' know what else to search for. I really DON'T want to install ndiswrapper from source, but if there is nothing else for me to do, i'll do it.
is there a special 64 bit version? last time i tried installing from source, it gave me crap about not being a 64 bit version. I'll search around and try it, but if it gives me that 64 bit crap again, i'll post it.
after i installed it, i tried ifup, ifdown, ifconfig, iwconfig...when i tried those on wlan0 it came back saying there was no configuration for wlan0. i thought no big deal, i'll just make a new configuration for wlan0 using yast. after that, i was able ping my router and even configure it through my web browser, but i was still unable to connect to the internet. why? what would be a proper configuration for this? should i jst skip yast2 and edit the file manually?
already done that. my routers ip is 192.168.0.1, so the file looks like this
nameserver 192.168.0.1
i haven't tried to ping any outside ips yet. i don't know of any specific ones. i was just pinging on the names, like ping cnn.com, yahoo.com, stuff like that.
just in case i don't, what should it be? that way i dont' have to ask for it later again. I'm running dual boot, and it's a pain sometimes to have to restart just to ask a simple question. thnx
