Upgrade Suse 10.2 to 10.3 prowireless 345 abg not workng in 10.3


Tried to do a clean install of 10.3 over 10.2. Somehow I now have a dual boot machine with 10.2 or 10.3 as a boot option. The problem is I can't make my wireless card work in 10.3.

Where can I go on my hard drive to find the drivers/setup for 10.2 which obviously are working now and "transfer" them to 10.3 land?

What is the problem with 10.3. When you go to yast/network devices the card is there and you can configure it but it is not found at boot time? all you get in knetwork manager is wired options no wireless networks.

reboot to 10.2 and bam....everything works great. go figure.

Thanks in advance for any advice. Eric

If you let suse doing the install than it is with suse standard that she leaves the old version on you,re computer
If you prefer a total fresh install choice the export mode and let suse use the old place occupied by suse.
When you configure the network device did you also choice the option boot at boot time ?
An other option is that she do not have the wright driver yet.
On suse web site is a lot of information about wireless networking

all the best
