Suse 10+wmp54gs adapter
Hello I am trying to use a linksys wmp54gs adapter with suse 10. I have searched numerous threads across the net, and I have gotten to the step of modprobe ndiswrapper, and that completes. My problem is I do not know what to do after modprobe ndiswrapper. I am a complete linux newbie. Also, I am using wpa tkip+aes encryption, I am not sure if this is supported? I would greatly appreciate some help.......Thanks.

I'm not a Suse user, but it's still Linux, so it should be fairly general...

The modprobe basically installed the driver for your network card... I found this article which is a walk through for installing it... did you try this one? It goes on past the modprobe on how to make sure the driver installed properly and tells you how to configure your network settings...

Thanks alot for that link it is a very very good tutorial for a newb like me working with linux. I am reinstalling suse at the moment and am going to follow that guide exactly and see how it works out. My only concern is suse being compatable with wpa2 tkip+aes encryption, im not sure if this would classify as a "shared key" or what.......Thanks Bill.

It still uses a shared key... aes and tkip are just the encryption mechanisms... if it doesn't work, try changing the tkip+aes on your router to tkip only and see if that works...

Ok well I have bigger problems at the moment lol......Whenever I try and use the ndiswrapper that is included on the suse disc and I modprobe it Gives me a FATAL: Module ndiswrapper not found. My solution to this was to use the newest tar.gz ndiswrapper. When I modprobe that it modprobes and skips the line like its supposed to do, but after that when I iwconfig it does not show the card at all.......I am using the bcmwl5 driver from the linksys disc....Why dont you think its showing up in iwconfig?
