Re: [SLE] wireless HOW-TO

make sure the card is turned on in the bios. it was off on mine (inspiron 5100).

that interface uses the ipw2200 kernel module. make sure you have that on your system.

you shouldn't need the ndis wrappers at all. get rid of it for these purposes

ok, so I got this new Dell XPS laptop, and I installed SUSE 10.0 on it, dual-boot. Now I'm trying to get the wireless card to work. It is an Intel Pro 2915ABG. I've got the netgear router setup and working wirelessly to WIndows, but not for SUSE. I'm trying to install and get ndiswrapper working, but I'm... floundering badly. I was using this how-to:
http://ndiswrapper.sourceforge.net/mediawiki/index.php/Suse_Professional_9.x

and I got to a page that says if iwconfig says "no wireless extensions" for my card I need to enable the config option CONFIG_NET_RADIO in my kernel setup-recompile and reinstall the kernel. I'm not up on compiling kernels, though I did download & install the kernel-source.rpm package.
Can someone point me to what to do next??? either a how-to to add that option to a kernel, or a better how-to for ndiswrapper???
