WHYerless problem

[feddersen]

Suse 10.1 was the best linux distro to date, then it was topped that with Sled10 - I personally loved both these, and my wirelesscard D-link DWL510 worked flawlessly out of the box..

I was really looking forward to the 10.2 release, but it seems as if support for my wireless card has been removed for some reason... Its been a long time since i had this problem and I don't want to spend time fixing it.. If someone has a quick fix not involving ndiswrapper i would give it a go. Last time I used ndiswrapper I spent two weeks on the internet trying to find drivers that worked. And silly me I've lost the disk i stored them on

I also have a wireless usb card from 3com, but I've never tried to make it work - since my dlink card always is configured automatically...

Bye bye suse... yet another great distro i can't be bothered to use..

Just one question to end it all - why do the put madwifi and wireless support on the extra repositories and not on the DVD?? somehow that seems a bit wierd....

Well you should go and see if D-link DWL510 is supported by madwifi. If it is install madwifi with yast and your good to go.

Well, I have already done that, I think my card used to work with madwifi before. Anyway - madwifi is not available in yast, because the package isn't present on the dvd... go figure??

Anyway, I have downloaded it the hardway and installed it through zen is it... But my wifi card is still not showing up in the network setup app.

Get the madwifi repositories from madwifi.org.. go read??

Anyways, for starters what does lspci show you?
And what about iwconfig?
