Phil,
Using ndiswrapper I've always had great success with my R3000 and wireless. Following the instructions detailed by the ndiswrapper wiki entry on Installation
always works for me, and was fairly easy to follow when I was just starting up with Linux as a desktop OS.
There is a section on that wiki speaking directly to different distributions. I know the Ubuntu entry on installation works great for my situation, and I'm sure the
SUSE one should work great for you (it says it was tested on 10.1, so you should be golden).
Hope that helped,
Mark

Hello,
Pretty much a linux newbie here. I've installed various Linux distros over the years at various times for web servers, CVS servers and other similar functions but never really tried to use it as a desktop.
So I have an R3000 Presario that I just installed the 10.1 64-bit release of Suse on. Of course the wireless isn't working. Any chance there is a straightforward newbie-level description on how to get it working. The Hardware Information app in the Control Center lists the Broadcom wireless hardware but it doesn't show up under the Network Manager app. I'm guessing that appropriate drivers are missing.
I looked over the archives and saw some mention of getting it to work under older releases with NDIS drivers and lots of kernel voodoo.
Barring an easy way to get the built-in wireless working are there any PCMCIA wireless cards that are likely to be "plug and play"? I would happily make do with a temporary solution until there is an updated release that has builtin support.
Thanks for any info.
Phil
(Apologies if this comes through twice. I hadn't gone all the way through the subscription verification process the first time I sent it and I am guessing it probably went into /dev/null.)
