Hello,

I'm quite new with Linux Suse 10.0. first i've installed KDE but later GNOME. just because i like gnome more than KDE. but now i have some troubles. I can't connect Wireless. after some searching I found out that he knows there is a wireless card but when starting up, in the log appears 'can't find interface'. i've searched the net. found a lot of howto's and tutorials but non of them helped me out. eacht time I want to install a driver of ndswrapper I got error messages

like the following { each time +/- the same }

make -C driver
make[1]: Entering directory `/home/blueconfig/ndiswrapper-1.28/driver'
Can't find kernel build files in /lib/modules/2.6.13-15.12-default/build;
  give the path to kernel build directory with
  KBUILD=<path> argument to make
make[1]: *** [prereq_check] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/blueconfig/ndiswrapper-1.28/driver'
make: *** [all] Error 2

can someone help me out ?

thx in advance,

Hello,

Is there really no one who can help me out?

Intel delivers drivers for its IPW2200 card, so no need to use NDISWRAPPER.

Which kernel are you using ? The default Suse 10.0 one (2.6.13) ? The IPW2200 drivers are included in this one, but they are quite old and might not work as well as the newer ones.

You need 3 things to make the IPW2200 drivers work :
-driver (included in the kernel, you can upgrade it manualy if you want)
-firmware (not included, you have to install it manualy)
-some wireless network manager

Check out this thread for more (it explains a lot) :

Also, there are good instructions here on how to update to the latest driver version :

Open a konsole (bash shell) and type "uname -r"
