nchancock Posted May 31, 2006 Report Share Posted May 31, 2006 If you're sure that you installed the right package from the Suse disk (I don't know what that would be as I don't use SUSE), it should be available from the command line. Example: ndiswrapper -i /path/to/windows/inf will install the windows driver for the wireless card. If it doesn't work, make sure ndiswrapper is installed with: find / -name ndiswrapper If that doesn't work, then you installed the wrong package.

nchancock Posted June 1, 2006 Report Share Posted June 1, 2006 Maybe we should start over ... su <enter root password> ndiswrapper -l <--------- this will show you what drivers are installed. ndiswrapper -e <driver name> And then follow this guide: Ndiswrapper: Suse Install Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
