I recently been trying to get wireless cards to work on my recently bought SuSE 9.2 linux distrobution. I have to say I'm very angry at the very poor support in wireless cards on that distro. But then Ubuntu couldn't locate a driver for them either. Anyways, as of right now I have a belkin Wireless G Desktop Network Card F5D7000. SuSE detected it, but couldn't configure it. I then tried Driverloarder. There are some problems that I don't are necessary to deal with at the momen, so I went to ndiswrapper. The one that came with my distro locks up the system. So I felt as though there was a problem with that version of the program. I downloaded the CVS 1.4 version of ndiswrapper, for I couldn't get to the download page on SForge. I did a distclean as implied by the wiki, and then a make, and this error came out...

What should I do?

PS: If someone KNOWS of a wireless card that works 110% on SuSE linux 9.2, please post it so I can take back the card I have and buy that one. Thanx in advance.

I've had good luck with any card using prism chips, but only used them in wireless B. The orinoco drivers usually requre a bit of code in /etc/pcmcia/config but a search of the wiki has my post on that.

hey thanx, could you name the card you use that uses a prism chipset? Thanx in advance.
