Hi,
I have upgraded to suse 9.3 and everything went smooth. However, I have tried to find the firmware for prismGT wireless cards to get my WG511 working, but I couldn't find it. When I was using 9.2, the firmware was available using YOU. Once I installed the firmware, the card worked smooth.
The problem now is that the firmware is not available. So, I went to look for the updates for 9.2, under the folder /pub/suse/i386/update/9.2 and I was able to find the script installintersilfirmware.sh (which I think is the script needed). Downloaded the script, tried running it, but gave me an error, that it was unable to find CC-54g_v1017.zip. I googled for the file, and I found it right away (actually, if you check the other script /pub/suse/i386/update/9.2/patches/installintersilfirmware.sh-51699, you can get the
link from which to download the file). Edited the script to point to the folder where the zip file is and ran the script, but I got an error saying
./installintersilfirmware.sh: line 1: -----BEGIN: command not found
./installintersilfirmware.sh: line 2: Hash:: command not found
which is understandable (looking at the script, you can see where it is coming from), I guess the script is supposed to work from YOU. When I remove the lines associated with these errors (first two and last 6 lines) and execute the script, and it works fine, I guess it only copies one file to /lib/firmware/ . The card works find after that. So for anyone who wants to get it working, its a simple process.
What I am not sure of is the following, what is the objective of the lines at the beginning/end of the script (first two and last 6 lines), and whether YOU does something with these lines.
Below is a copy of the script.
Thanks.
