I tried to get my SMC2802W V2 wireless card working (SuSe 9.2), but I
couldn't make it happen. The error I get at the concluding 'ifup wlan0' is: ERROR: Could not determine device driver name Anyone who can help me out, and contribute to a complete MSMD Installation Guide? Here is what I did (thanks to a Sept 20, 2004 post in http://forums.suselinuxsupport.de/index.php): - Used Yast to install ndiswrapper from the SuSe CD's (Version 0.10) - downloaded the Windows driver for the SMC2802W_V2 card from: http://www.smc-europe.com/english/index.html - unpacked the downloaded file SMC2802Wv2_DRUT.zip (7250711 bytes) (into my /home/myname/temp/ ) - descended into sub SMC2802Wv2_DRUT/Driver (found there the files: 2802W.cat, 2802W.inf, 2802W.sys, 2802W51.sys, Driver.2K, Driver.98, Driver.ME - wrapped the ndiswrapper around the Win driver by: ndiswrapper -i 2802W.inf - used Yast to do a new network card config: Yast - Network Devices - Network Card - Change - delete the existing wireless configuration (if any) - go back to the initial Network Devices window - choose Other Non-Detected - choose Configure - Kernel Module: leave Name of Hardware Configuration as it is: 'static-1' - Leave Module Name and Options empty - ad-hoc - no encryption - on-boot - blocked the prism54 from loading at boot time: - add prism54 to the file /etc/hotplug/blacklist - Yast - System > /etc/sysconfig editor. Expand on the left Hardware > Hotplug, choose HOTPLUG_PCI_DRIVERTYPE_BLACKLIST and add inside the form window /net/wireless choose COLDPLUG_PCI_CLASSES_BLACKLIST and add inside the form window 0d (zero d) - checked (as root): /sbin/lsmod |grep prism54 conclusion prism54 entries present - rebooted - checked (as root): /sbin/lsmod |grep prism54 conclusion NO prism54 entries present anymore - did: modprobe ndiswrapper ndiswrapper -m ifdown wlan0 ifup wlan0 AT THIS POINT I GET THE ERROR: ERROR: Could not determine device driver name |
