Linksys WMP54G and SuSE 9.0


I have a WMP54G card and SuSE 9.0.
After installing the card, I downloaded and installed the Linuxant wrapper.

Three days latter, still no success in getting a connection (unlike taking only 5 minutes in XP to get going).

Can anyone point to a step-by-step how to?

Hi,

I suggest that you try with opensource wrapper http://ndiswrapper.sourceforge.net/

Got it working with a WMP54G under Mdk-9.1

Hi,

Here is a kind of roadmap.

Which distro do you use ?
What is your kernel version ? Are the sources installed the same as running kernel ?
Which version of ndiswrapper did you use ? 0.2, lastest CVS ? ( FYI 0.3 is out today )
Which Zindoz drivers ?
Do you have another NIC in your Pc ?

The "normal" order to get it run is :
1- compile driver
2- compile loaddriver
3- insmod ndiswrapper.o
4- run loaddriver ( see readme for parameters )
5- configure interface with ifconfig
6- configure wireless with iwconfig
7- configure modules.conf to get it automated at boot

From that list, tell me where you are !

im at the part where i have to configure the network parameters and it keeps bringing it up as eth2 and i cant get it to connect cause i cant configure it as eth when its wlan in suse 9.0 if you can help me out in finding a way to configure it properly it'd be much appreciated.

p.s im using kernel version 2.4.21-99 so 0.3 is the only one i can use right now 0.4 requires 2.4.23.
