Hello, everyone.
I am on OpenSUSE 10.0, and currently unsuccessful in my attempts to configure my wireless network with the Linksys WUSB54G Wireless Adapter. Without my wireless network, there is no internet connection (I am posting from Windows partition right now). I seem to have configured the network correctly using YaST2, and it seemed to work - that is, the YaST configuration gave no errors.
However, when I do iwconfig, there is no wlan0. This is surprising. I used ndiswrapper (hardware and drivers are present) as the module name in YaST2, but a quick dmesg | grep ndiswrapper gives an error message which states that the ndiswrapper, though configured, is not working. So I ditched ndiswrapper.
On the OpenSUSE wiki, it states that my network card works with YaST2.
So I decided to look at the prism drivers. In YaST2, it is an option to use prism2_usb as a driver. I tried this, the configuration again returned no errors, but the internet connection was still not there. Am I supposed to use rt2x00 drivers?
I ran rcsmpppd, and found out that smpppd was running, so that cannot be the problem. However, a manual execution of KInternet (the last step in YaST's configuration) yielded a dialog box chock-full of errors.
I am sure that I entered all network information possible into the YaST configuration - I can't be missing anything of the sort. I'm thinking it's a driver issue.
I got it to work on my Ubuntu partition, using ndiswrapper and the same driver...
I've exhausted my problem-solving capabilities for a week. If someone could give me a solution to this problem, it would be greatly appreciated.
P.S. I may not have outlined everything that I've done in this post, so if you post with a solution and I say that I've already tried it, please don't be offended.
