Question on WLAN adapters

Hi!

It would be helpful to know, which chipset your
adapter uses. Do a "lsusb" as root. The lines look
like this:

Bus 007 Device 002: ID 0ace:1211

Some (I guess those which are known by your
kernel) also have a name string at the end of
the line. One of these lines identifies your
USB adapter ... and usual the ID is sufficient
to tell which chipset it uses.

HTH,
Andreas

The chipset is zd1211 and USB ID 0ace:1211. Hope this helps.

Kind regards,

If you didn't do it yet, visit:

There are two different drivers. One is included in kernel
2.6.18. The other 
one you have to compile yourself. Works for me for SL 10.1
with kernel 
2.6.16.21-0.25-default 

YaST does not recognise the usb-stick as wlan device, so you
have to create a 
dummy config file, then change ifcfg-whatever-comes-here to
ifcfg-wlan0 (see 
template in /etc/sysconfig/network).
