Exclamation Wireless card problems with 10


Since the day I got SuSE 10 I've never gotten my wireless internet card to work. The problem is it won't install properly. I load the driver into ndiswrapper and it loads fine. However when I try to run the modprobe on ndiswrapper it hangs and won't do anything. The same thing happens when I try to run YaST. It hangs when trying to detect the card. The card runs perfectly in Windows. (I'm running it now.) The card is a Marvell IEEE802.11g Wireless card with a pci interface. So what's the problem? It's gettin really anoying because I've got things I need to do with linux that require internet and I can't get any.

Please Help

I've had NO problems with ANY of these wireless cards in SUSE 10

1) Intel built in wireless (HP Dv series) -- works out of the box
2) Orinoco Gold Card (11 Mb) Lucent Pcmcia --works out of the box
3) Linksys wpc (using the ndiswrapper package on the dvd and Windows drivers - also worked no probs).

There's loads of wireless cards that DO work now with SUSE so if you really have one that has serious problems I'd change it.

Cheers

So that's it? There's absolutely no one here that can help me? :/ Not what I was hoping for. Well I guess I'll try to get around it with windows.
