Wifi Under Linux? - With My WUSB54G

michaelper22
I understand that SuSE Linux has support for WiFi (I found a couple of options in YaST's network device modules for WiFi adapters). My question is: How can I sue my Linksys WUSB54G adapter in SuSE linux 9.1 Professional? If so, do I need any drivers and/or additional software? This would greatly help me - I am a newbie in Linux (pretty much all I can do is install software, and I set up the MySQL server and can't use it).

If I am correct this usb-wife adapter should work with the rt2500 drivers. The only problem is that these are not supported in the kernel that comes with SuSe 9.1 since you need atleast 2.6.15. But you can also download the drivers and compile them yourself against your kernel version.

Another option is to use ndiswrapper in combination with the .ini file on the windows-driver-cdrom

info about howto do so can be found here for the rt2500 drivers and here for ndiswrapper.

Good luck smile.gif

    However, OpenSuSE works horribly on Mac. Is it completely Mac's proprietary fault, or is it
    just that most Linux users in their right minds would never pay for a Mac when they could build a
    Linux-friendly machine for pennies in comparison? I use a Mac for many reasons. First of all, I

    which distros are good for what, I soon realized my current distro was great for Linux noobs. So
    then I decided to try something a little more advanced like Slackware which I knew had a steep

    Linux distro to use but with its unmatched forum community support it is one of the easiest to learn
    to use. One of the problems with learning Linux is that a lot of users have an attitude that Linux
    should be a free Windows knock off which it is not. Ubuntu is build on a Linix core or kernel and is
    a different Open Source and free as in to use operating system. This brings us to t....
