I have two questions I would appreciate help on if anyone is able.

Question 1

I have a dual boot xp machine with a Netgear WG311 card which works great
while under XP. When I boot into SUSE although the card is recognized, it
does not function. How can I get this to function?

Part 2

I have a Nexdisk and a Sony flash drives 128MB and 256 MB and neither is
recognized by SuSe when plugging into a USB. Once again they work fine in XP
and also worked under Lycoris,Knoppix, (when I was trying out distro's
before settling on purchasing SuSe) Is there any way to get SuSe to
recognise these?

If it is relevant, I have my SuSe on a separate hard drive of its own and
allowed to to configure itself so its not on an XP drive. Everything else
seems to work as advertised no problem. I would LOVE to be able to get on
the net utilizing SuSe and perform some updates and downloads. Any solutions
or suggestions ( adding an e card etc. ) would be greatly appreciated. If I
have to buy something to make it work that is no problem. I am not looking
for cheap, just want to make this work. Thank you in advance.
