    ORiNOCO wireless

    Hi, I probabily posted this same question a long time ago on these forums, but I have come back to the same problem. My wireless card does not have a driver for SuSE linux, my card is an ORiNOCO 802.11abg PCI 8482-WD and I am trying to install SuSE linux 10.1. Anyone know of a driver or somthing that i can use to conect to my wireless network? thanks.
