I have had wireless networking work ok using UnitedLinux "Ok" being that I'm not happy with everything but I'm generally satisfied that it works. The GUI setup tool at least works now with wireless settings AFTER setting up the NIC. What kind of NIC are you using? Do you use WEP? Are you

David, I get the beep... beep. I am using a WAP on it's own IP in infra- structure (managed) mode and the SuSE 8.1 setup GUI asks for a key. The WAP uses 128 bit WEP key because I am using a mixed wired/wireless home lan. This is what I symlinked: ln -s /etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg-eth-pcmcia

David, Thanks for the info. What did not come out clearly is that SuSE8.1 automa- gically does this for you, but it didn't work. The only way to get the eth-pcmcia card recognized as wlan was to symlink it. I tried putting the info in wireless.opts, no go. It keeps telling me it cannot find an i

Guys, Can we get back on subject here. I started this thread asking about help/experience with the built-in wireless setup under SuSE 8.1 and it has digressed to cups vs lprng. Could people please offer suggestions about wireless. Again, I have got the card recognized, symlinked to eth-pcmcia-0,

Yeah, seems a common complaint now is even the latest, greatest from Redhack and Mondain are reporting in with the same errors. Seems to be related to the new stuff being compiled with GCC 3.2 ??? I also got the source for xterm and LPRng and the tools, compiled from source. Things still are we

That just tells me how to set up pcmcia, which I _don't_ have a problem with. As I said, the card is recognized, installs the proper modules, but just doesn't get an interface. I have symlinked to the yast created eth1 for the wireless and have gotten a little further along, but still no cigar. R

I dunno Ben. I installed UnitedLinux Beta, downloaded yesterday, and it looks like a clone of SUSE 8.x. It uses yast to install and it hung on every machine @ 64% of booting for the first time. YMMV, Keith B. Ben Duncan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: >I duuno, Keith. I am having MOJO problems w

Hello All Has anyone gotten a simple Linksys WPC11 card to work 'out of the box' in SuSE 8.1 using the standard setup unde yast2 lan? I installed SuSE 8.1 (fresh) on my laptop which ran (sometimes intermittently) a wireless Linksys WPC11 card under 8.0 with tweaking manually. 8.1 comes with a gu
