Hey guys,
I have decided to give getting linux working on my wireless network one more go. I have been following a guide on the Suse website for installing the Netgear WG111v2 USB adapter onto Suse. I have managed to get the ndiswrapper installed and also the windows drivers on aswell.
All appears to be fine but the adapter doesnt actually work. I know that Suse is seeing the adaper as the iwconfig wlan0 command gives reading when the usb adapter is plugged in and nothing when its not.
However I cannot seem to connect to my wireless network at all, iwlist wlan0 scanning also does not find any networks.
The blue light on my device does not light up either.
I have ran ifup wlan0 and the DHCP client daemon appears to have difficulty getting an IP address saying it is "backgrounding".
I have tried my access point with and without WEP enabled and still no luck. The adapter worked previously in my XP box.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated
thanks in advance
