At last I got my Opensuse 10.3 x86-64 up and running except the WIFI and some issues with my ATI Videocard. By the way I'm using a Laptop Dell Inspiron 1501, AMD Turion64x2, 1gb RAM, 60gb HD, ATI Radeon Xpress 1150, Dell Wireless 1390 WLAN Mini-Card(WIFI), Broadcom 440x 10/100 Integrated Controller(LAN). At Present I'm trying to fix my wifi config by following steps I downloaded from http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=297092 , I tried following the steps but my terminal keeps giving me a command not found error, can anybody help me with this. When its says CODE where do I enter it? :unsure: Do I enter the CODE one at a time at my terminal console? Please light up my way I'm really new to linux. Thank and more power to this community. :huh:

The 'command not found' is due to the different distro. Apt-get is what ubuntu uses as it's package manager, you will be installing via YaST -> Software Management. You will install ndiswrapper there, but here are 2 good suse forum posts that should help you get going. I am running off a Dell XPS m1330 (broadcom 43x chipset) so had no problems using the below posts.

Good luck, report back with any issues.
