    SuSe 9.3 and WL54USB wlan

    Hi guys

    I have really rard time to get this wlan usb stick work under suse 9.3 pro.
    Hardware seems to find the stick but the problem is the driver
    The driver is open source and it is available here http://support.a-link.com/wl54usb/upd.htm

    I tried to use make and make install but all I get is errors

    Can someone tell me the way to get it work, please

    Regards,
    Jeffi80

    Could you post the errors you're getting?
    There are two major products that come out of Berkeley: LSD and UNIX. We don't believe this to be a coincidence.

    SuS Hardware tool popup window says that "Your insert request delivered and A driver has been loaded for the devise and so it should be possible to use the devise." after I manually select the stick from the Unkown devises list of Hardware tool and click on Insert button.

    As far as I know I havent installed any drivers yet

    Does it actually show up when you run iwconfig in a terminal?

    Have you installed the kernel-source package?

    The name of the package in YaST is actually kernel-source; you can do a search in YaST's software installation module.

    If you have updated your kernel via YOU (Yast Online Update) since installing SuSE, you'll have to update the kernel-source package via YOU as well.

    All I did is made all available online updates.
    Never heard about YOU

    I think that there is some kind of problem with building the driver because I used make commands when I installed other applications and it worked without any errors.
