David,
Many thanks for your reply. As of why the driver loads from my
directory, that was just my mistake. I couldn't get the file via CVS, so I
used the "snapshop" and got sloppy (was the 4th re-install) in 2 days.
Anyway, I sort of figured out that the driver was there. Along the 3
previous installs, I tried a few things. If I choose to upgrade the Kernel
from YOU the PC crashes completely and needed to re-install and I learned
the hard way.
I tried updating the firmware from YOU only and it detected the card, but
gave me the same problems. I then updates the driver from the Berlios site
and did not work. Now, the card seems to be detected properly, iwconf...
ives me a decent "signal", Mac address, access point address, etc. Seems to
me like the problem is the card associating with the network. Mandrake uses
the same driver (as per the /etc/modules.conf) and there it works. From SuSe
I always get the:
Jul 16 16:26:25 susewireless1 kernel: wlan0: no IPv6 routers present
for some reason I am still to figure out.
Will it make a difference if I install the firmware from thekelleys website
instead of the YOU version?
Thank you so much for your help. Any pointers will be greatly appreciated.
Diego J. Diaz
