    I've seen several discussions regarding SuSE 9 and wireless cards, but I
    haven't seen a solution yet. I have a Netgear MA-401 PCMCIA card that
    worked flawlessly with RH 8, 9, and Fedora and SuSE 8.2. However, I
    can't for the life of me get it to work with SuSE 9. SuSE recognizes the
    card (although it identifies it as a prism2 and all other distros have
    reported it as orinoco). Various websites identify the chipset as
    Prism2, so I don't think this is the problem. The card gets recognized
    and the wlan0 interface is configured. When it tries to obtain an IP
    address from my LinkSys WRT54G router, I get the following errors in my
    messages log:

    wlan0 (WE) : Buffer for request 8B1B too small (0<20)

    I googled for this error, but could not find anything that seemed
    relevant to my problem. Does anyone know what this means?

    Thanks for any help you can provide.

    Alan
