Wireless LAN on OpenSUSE 10.2
I just installed opensuse 10.2 on my westinghouse NB-14w2 laptop because I hadn't used linux in a long time, and I felt like I was neglecting my westinghouse after I bought an HP pavilion dv6000.

So, the installation went surprisingly well, but it didn't get drivers for some of the keyboard functions (theres no physical volume control, its a function key and f5 and f6) or for the wireless card. I'm using the laptop right now, but it's hooked to my network hub by an ethernet cable.

Does anyone know how I might get a driver for this? Here's a link to westinghouse's page for the drivers for this laptop: http://www.westinghousedigital.com/d...emnum=66#VALUE

Do I need to configure the Wireless LAN myself? Is there a Linux driver? Or can the windows driver be installed on here with a compatibility layer?
