Hi

I'm running SuSE Linux 9.2 on a Acer TravelMate 432LC notebook.
My problem: I'm trying to run a Netgear WG511v2 wireless card on it, but
it doesn't work. That is really annoying because this card is the first
of the recommended cards on http://www.prism54.org/supported_cards.php.
When I plug the card in the kernel doesn't even seem to notice it, as it
doesn't write anything into the file /var/log/messages.
Is there anybody who can help me to make this card work?

thanks a lot

Simon
