    newbie needing driver help

    I just installed suse 11.4 as the only OS on a laptop. Everything works great except I have no internet because it doesn't show anything in wireless networks, even though there should be several. Can anyone help me get internet on there? I am good at following directions, but have no knowledge of the commands used in Linux or anything. I am using the GNOME desktop too, if that changes anything. Thanks!

    -Matt

    Thanks. I tried doing what that bottom post said, but it says "cannot access '~WirelessSetup': no such file or directory...

    EDIT: I retyped the chmod +x command without the ~ and it worked. I then did "./WirelessSetup" and it said "line 9: lpsci: command not found line 24: ifconfig: command not found line 27: iwconfig: command not found"
