And if the icon is not there? Cuz it's not.

Is it in your /media directory?

[sdousley]

You can manually mount it... check /mnt or /media for a relevent folder eg cdrom or cdrw etc, and then run:

mount /mnt/cdrom

The problems just won't stop. Now the mouse has problems to - Logitech M-BJ69 OEM. Any ideas?

I can't find the DVD-RW, all the drivers are installed but I can't find it anywhere, all I found is that in /dev there are files on which it says cd; cd recorder; dvd; dvdrecorder but none of them does anything (except ask me which program should it use to open). I'm getting frustrated.
When I wasn't root there was an icon dvdrecorder in /media but said that I have to be root to view the contents, so I switched to root and ofcourse the icon disapeared.

Nothing not in /media not in /mnt

This is really makjing me pis*ed off badly

Can you be more specific? What "problems" are you having with the mouse?

This means it's not mounted. Do as sdousley suggests above.

Ok found out my NEC 3540A just stopped working, replaced it with a reserve combo drive and did the procedure.
Now when I write iwconfig it says:
lo no wireless extension

sit0 no wireless extension

eth0 no wireless extension

Now what?

[the_music_man]

Ok tried it again (first removed the driver I installed) but this time I copied the WG311v3XP.sys into the /root/ndiswrapper folder and then checked with ndiswrapper -l command and it says:
Driver present, hardware present

So I reckon this is it, but now how to enable the card? And will it work with WEP and SSID (some say SSID isn't working)

[sdousley]

you will also need to load ndiswrapper in order to see the device...

modprobe ndiswrapper

will do that for you. After that, you should then see the device in iwconfig

[the_music_man]

It woun't work. I did what you said but when I entered
modprobe ndiswrapper
it said "Segmentation fault"
and still there is no wlan0 in the iwconfig

techieMoe: sometimes it doesn't move, sometimes jumps etc.
Strange...

I think I found the problem. In YaST there are two network devices which I don't have:
-ASUSteK P4P800/K8V Deluxe motherboard
-Netgear 88w8335 [Liberta] 802.11b/g Wireless

I have an onboard LAN card but not an ASUSteK its a 3COM 3C940 Gbit LAN and I certanily don't have the Netgear SuSe detected.
The problems is I can't delete either of them. Why? Is there a manual way?

Start a thread on this and perhaps we can help you. I don't want to have two separate threads going on in this one.
