I'm trying to go wireless with Suse 9.2 on a old Thinkpad. I've got a D-Link wireless router (DI-624) on a Dell desktop working fine with a Dell laptop and Dell wireless pci card. I'm trying to use a D-Link 630 pci card on the Thinkpad. I've done the ndiswrapper thing with the Windows drivers and have the device associated with wlan0. Got both lights workin' on the card.

My impression is that I'm not going to be able to connect unless in can get the DHCP server running on the Thinkpad. I've tried a bunch of configuration settings under YaST and only get as far as "Error occurred while restarting DHCP daemon." Am I screwing up on the configuration settings? (Frankly I find the different IP addresses called for confusing.) Any help would be appreciated.

Dr. Doerke

why do you need to run a DHCP daemon? Should not the router have a DHCP daemon on it? what happens when you try "dhcpcd wlan0"?

"dhcpcd wlan0" results in
"device: Atheros Communications, Inc.: unknown device 001a (rev 01)"

What am I supposed to make of that?

I did get it to work by setting my pci card to look for a static ip address rather than by DCHP.

Thanks for the tip.
