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) : http://www.linuxforums.org/forum/deb...-2-6-17-a.html Also, there are good instructions here on how to update to the latest driver version : http://www.ces.clemson.edu/linux/fc2-ipw2200.shtml __________________ "To express yourself in freedom, you must die to everything of yesterday.
