    Networking a Nintendo DS

    Okey dokey,

    I have Suse 10.1 installed on my centrino laptop, which is connected to router (wired).

    Basicly im hoping that i will be able to use my DSL connection on my DS via the wireles card in my laptop.

    Unfortunatly, im new to linux and im not to hot on wireless networking either.

    1.So, can it be done?
    2.If so, how?
    3.Anyone up for a game of Mario Kart?

    Cheers ^^

    So you have no router. You have a DSL box conecting to your laptop and you want you laptop to send the singal to the DS via WiFi.

    If you know how to make it send out wireless internet then I can help you.

    PS: I'm always up for Mario Kart

    You're probably looking for something like this. It was written for wired, but with some tweaking it should work. It's a lot off effort for just your DS but it should be fun to do at least once

    Well thats beceause now all you have done is send out wireless signal. Now you need to configure your DS. Nitendo.com should give you detailed instructions. If you get confused refer back to me.
