openSuSE 10.2 and Proxim 8460-J1 wireless problems..

I am having problems trying to get my wireless card to get connected to the internet using openSuSE 10.2. I can use it with Simply Mepis (Lastest Build) without any problems, but once I get the card drivers installed using ndiswrapper in SuSE, it won't allow me go any futher. I have tried ever solution I can think of without any luck.

When I check to see if everything is set up properly in ndiswrapper it gives me:

Code:

#ndiswrapper -l
ntpr11ab     driver installed, hardware (168C:0012) present (alternate driver: ndiswrapper)

I'm assuming everything is installed correctly. I'm stuck at this point.

The exact model of my card is:
Proxim 802.11a/b Combo Card
Model: 8460-J1
8460-J125200KKNVR
Orinoco 802.11a/b ComboCard Gold

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Have you tried to modprobe ndiswrapper? If so, what does iwconfig output. If not, run

Code:

su
modprobe ndiswrapper
iwconfig
ndiswrapper -m
iwconfig wlan0 essid "YOUR ESSID HERE"
dhclient wlan0

On the first iwconfig, check to see if wlan0 is listed. If it's not, don't bother with the rest, post back here. If it is, run the rest and try to go online. Then post back with results.
