    Of course we care! We'd care even more if you'd fill us in on all the details!

    Hardware stuff?

    Dell Latitude C800 850ish Mhz PIII
    20GB HD
    256MB RAM

    Dual Boot, Suse 10 (Kind of heavy for this hardware) & XP

    Wireless card is a Netgear WG511v2

    There are two versions of it made now, one built in China with the Marvell chipset (mine) and one built in India with a Prism chipset I think.

    The install was super easy. Copied the XP dir from the cd to a folder and ndiswrapper -i, then -l to see, then -m. Set the appropriate things in Yast, rebooted, and boom! Wireless network access.

    I'll stop now :P
