On SuSE 10.2 there is a wireless driver, from memory, it is bcm43xx.ko. It requires the firmware. To extract the firmware from a Windows bcmwl5.sys file, and place the firmware into /lib/firmware. The Wireless on my laptop has been working perfectly. Prior to that I did use ndiswrapper because fwcutter didn't like the version of bcmwl5.sys that I had. I did at one time post the exact steps you need to run ndiswrapper (get it from the SuSE RPM supplied with your distro). My laptop is an AMD64. -- Jerry Feldman <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Boston Linux and Unix user group http://www.blu.org PGP key id:C5061EA9 PGP Key fingerprint:053C 73EC 3AC1 5C44 3E14 9245 FB00 3ED5 C506 1EA9
