Wireless connection problem in SUSE

[Kino]

yesterday i installed SUSE 10.0
and yast didnt find my card

Level-one WNC-0301

i used ubuntu before and i configed it like that

system> settings (or somthing like that)> netwoking

how to config it this way i SUSE?

Can you elaborate a bit about yast didn't find your card? I assume you mean that you weren't able to connect to your wireless AP? Now to configure the card, all you have to do is: KMenu -> system -> yast -> network devices -> network card.

Here you can configure your card to your hearts content.

im running gnome :X

YAST finds just the ethernet card

Ok, now try running this command as root to see if the system detects your wireless card:

lspci

you should see a few entries most which are about other pci devices, e.g. video card, ethernet card. One of them should say something like "xxx Wireless card" or similar.

Now, do you know what chipset the card uses?

It doesn't matter if you are running gnome, yast and commands are the same for both DE.

found somthing

Network controller: RaLink Ralink RT2500 802.11 Cardbus Reference Card

i dont think its my card, but if it is what to do?

Ok so the card is detected, you just need drivers and firmware. I pretty sure that 9.3 comes with drivers for the card, I am not sure if 10 does. Seaarch in yast for any incidence of ralink and install these drivers. Alternatively you could google around and search for the drivers for SUSE.

Another thing is to see this post: http://www.linuxforums.org/forum/topic-48999.html

Launch yast, goto Install and remove software, then search.

there isnt install and remove software, in all sub-categories.

are u sure its right?

its YaST2 not YaST(nothing)

[AlexK]

Yes, there is an install and remove software, they could have changed the naming scheme in 10. When you launch yast, the left hand side shows the sub-categories, goto the one called software and then install and remove software or something which sounds similar to that.
