Problem in my wireless device

[SuseStarUser]

Hello all
I have Intel ( R ) WiFi Link 5100 AGN # 3 (I knew it from Windows ) and I use OpenSuse11
I try lspci and lsusb and iwconfig
please see it and tell me What do I have to do

You likely need the firmware for the card. I'm not very familiar with opensuse, but look for a package called iwl5000-ucode.

Novell: SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop 11 for x86: iwl5000-ucode

[SuseStarUser]

ok
I installed iwl5000-ucode but nothing happen !!
help me
thanks

[waterhead]

Post the output of this command:

dmesg  grep firmware

Also, these commands:

ifconfig

iwconfig

[waterhead]

Sorry, I gave the command wrong. It should be this:

dmesg | grep firmware

[waterhead]

I was reviewing your first post, the one with the system info, and I don't see any wireless device listed. Am I missing something?

Is it possible that the wireless is turned off? Try turning it on, and see what happens.

I mean, in the output of these commands:

lspci -knn
lsusb

I didn't see a wireless device from Intel.

[waterhead]

OK, this appears to be the wireless device:

It doesn't seem to be properly recognized. This seems to be a kernel bug, especially a Suse 11.0 kernel bug.

I suggest you update to the latest available kernel, or the latest available version of Suse.

Try a LiveCD of another distro, like Ubuntu or Fedora. Always get the latest version. See if it works in those.
