Join Date: May 2006 Location: Milwaukee, WI Posts: 4	Help connecting to network I am running SuSe 10.1 and have a Linksys WMP11 ver. 2.7 which uses the Broadcom Corporation BCM4301 802.11b (rev 02) chipset. I have loaded the .inf driver with ndiswrapper and after I type modprobe ndiswrapper I can view the iwconfig and ifconfig with wlan0 information. The KNetworkManager shows up in my taskbar and I can see two networks, mine and my neighbors. I have used YaST to configure the card (DHCP, WEP, checked all my spellings) BUT I am unable to connect to the network. The KNetworkManager gets to 28%, tries to configure the device and thats it. I have hit a wall and if some one has any suggestions I would greatly appreciate it. Also If any more info is needed let me know. Thanks.
