i am a rookie to Linux (so please excuse my ignorance), but my hatred of Windows is that of a veteran. how do i setup my wireless network with a microsoft MN-510 (wireless USB network adapter)? i have Suse Linux 9.2 Professional. my base station is already setup, so the wireless network is already established. i just need to get Linux to use the MN-510 to access the internet. please help.

Try this:

It's commercial software, but the price is very reasonable ($20.00), and it's reported to work well with the MN-510.

That's probably your best bet ... at least until Microsoft starts releasing device drivers for Linux ;-)

I had no problems setting up my MN-520 pcmcia card without paying for the linuxant driver(s). I had to add an entry to my wireless.conf file and bind it to the orinoco_cs driver. That was all. Let me know if you want me to give you a little help with it. I'll do my best.
