WLAN/Ethernet card setup for SuSE 9.0 (YaST)

[l_Infinite]

I finally left Mandrake, and in turn bought SuSE 9.0 Personal. So far the installation has gone well, until i got to the Internet/Network Setup in YaST. This is where i have problems - i don't know how to setup my laptop (Sony VAIO PCG-V505DX) for the Linux configuration for the inbuilt Ethernet and Wireless cards.

The specs for the cards can be seen here, just scroll down a bit. If you do not wish to view the link, the specs are:

+ Modem
Integrated V.92/90 modem

+ Ethernet
10BASE-T/100BASE-TX Ethernet with RJ-45 interface

+ Integrated Wireless LAN
Intel PRO/ Wireless 2100 Network Connection 802.11b, Bus/Interface: mini PCI

Does anyone know how i can get the OS to work with my WLAN,or at least to connect via Ethernet hardwiring? If you need more information, simply ask and i will provide.

Admittedly, I don't know the specifics of SuSE, but in any case, it would help very much if you provided the output of "/sbin/lspci" from the laptop.

Can you tell me in non-linux terms what /sbin/lspci refers to, or is? - i might know it easier that way.

Oh, sorry... I just take it so naturally... it refers to a shell command. Open a terminal emulator (gnome-terminal in GNOME, konsole in KDE... or just open a run dialog and type xterm), type in that command and press enter. Then it will give some lines of output. Copy those and paste them in a new post.

Hi,

I've got the same problem with a netgear ma311 wlan pci adapter on my pc.

Being totally new to linux I tried out all the values I knew in YAST but to no avail.

Anyone any idea what is needed?

Many thanks in advance

Ingo
