    Question Linksys wireless & Suse 9.0

    I have Suse 9.0 and my linksys wusb11 ver 2.6 do not work. I had a go at the drivers at http://www.linux-wlan.com/linux-wlan/, but still can not get it to work. If anyone know how to fix this, please let me know

    What have you accomplished so far? Does it show up as an available nic? If not post us the out put of the command "dmesg" and "lsmod"

    (To get a text file with the out put of said commands type in "dmesg > dmesg.out" and "lsmod > lsmod.out" This will create a text file called dmesg.out and lsmod.out in the current directory with the output of both commands. Remember to "su" before running them Copy and paste the content here)

    I think I got the driver loaded, if do ''iwconfig'' this is what I get:

    linux:/home/ekke85 # iwconfig
    lo no wireless extensions.

    sit0 no wireless extensions.

    eth0 no wireless extensions.

    eth1 ATMEL RFMD503A ESSID:"ujcnet2" Nickname:"ujcnet2"
    Mode:Managed Channel:11 Access Point: 00:06:25:57:6E:96
    Bit Rate:11Mb/s
    RTS thr=2347 B Fragment thr=2346 B
    Encryption keyff
    Link Quality:100 Signal level:30 Noise level:0
    Rx invalid nwid:0 Rx invalid crypt:0 Rx invalid frag:0
    Tx excessive retries:0 Invalid misc:0 Missed beacon:0

    Then if I unplug the usb device and plug it back in and run ''iwconfig'' again this is what I get:

    linux:/home/ekke85 # iwconfig
    lo no wireless extensions.

    sit0 no wireless extensions.

    eth0 no wireless extensions.

    wlan0 IEEE 802.11-DS ESSID:"okuwlan"
    Mode:Ad-Hoc Channel:10 Cell: 00:00:00:00:00:00
    Bit Rate:11Mb/s
    RTS thr=1536 B Fragment thr=1536 B
    Encryption keyff
    Power Managementff
    Link Quality:0 Signal level:0 Noise level:0
    Rx invalid nwid:0 Rx invalid crypt:0 Rx invalid frag:0
    Tx excessive retries:0 Invalid misc:0 Missed beacon:0

    So it looks like I have two drivers that is willing to work, but I am not sure how to get my encryption key in there and how to see the rest of the network, so if anybody can help me, I will be a very happy puppy.

    Ah ok. Well try this. Seeing that you have two different ssid's I will assume it is ucjnet2.

    If all's you have to do is enable the encrytpion then type in at the command prompt (assuming you have not unplugged the device and then plugged it in again): "iwconfig eth1 key xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx" (the x's represent your key) Once input then type "dhcpcd eth1" Same thing should go for the wlan0 interface too. Post back and let us know how it goes.

    Another thing is that if my Linux starts up the card is eth1 under iwconfig, should it not be wlan0?

    Not necesarily. Some of the drivers (ie the orinoco driver) work for different hardware types. I'm guessing it is the one that is loading first. Then when you unplug the nic it doesn't unload and so when you plug the nic back in it looks for a driver for said device sees the orinoco is in use and loads the next best thing. If it works then I wouldn't worry to much about wich driver is loading.
