Driver for wireless adaptor


Running SuSE 8.2. Having recently connected to ADSL with the other machines (Windows) on my home network, I want to connect the Linux machine to my wireless modem/router. I have 2 USB adaptors, a D Link DWL122 and X-Micro wlan 11g. Both of these work well with Windows, but the makers don't produce drivers for Linux. Has anyone written a suitable driver?

I highly recommend using the ndiswrapper on Suse. You can search this forum for info on it's use.

It allows you to use Windows Wireless adapter drivers. It may take you two or three tries to get it right. But, you aren't going to break anything and it works great for me.

Don't worry about compiling the ndiswrapper as so many suggestions go into. Just install from the CD/DVD/FTP.

I only have one caveat. I haven't tried it on anything less than SUSE 9.2. Why not upgrade while you have the chance?
