I am trying to get my Texas Instruments ACX 111 wireless card to work. I went through these (http://www.swerdna.net.au/linhowtonic.html) instructions in the Network settings without luck.

lspci -v says:

01:06.0 Network controller: Texas Instruments ACX 111 54Mbps Wireless Interface
Subsystem: Netgear Unknown device 4c00
Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 64, IRQ 9
Memory at fe9dc000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=8K]
Memory at fe9e0000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=128K]

Any ideas?

That chipset has Windows drivers that come with the Windows installation CD. These drivers are the tnet1130.inf files. You will need to install them using "ndiswrapper". This is a program that you can install from Yast, if you do not already have it on your machine. You need to be root to use ndiswrapper. Once you have ndiswrapper installed, then you need to add the wireless device through yast and select the option to use a Windows driver disk with ndiswrapper. You can also manually install with the "-i" option, but you will need to copy the files to your drive. SUSE has instructions on installing and using ndiswrapper.http://en.opensuse.org/Ndiswrapper_howto

# ndiswrapper
install/manage Windows drivers for ndiswrapper

usage: ndiswrapper OPTION
-i inffile install driver described by 'inffile'
-a devid driver use installed 'driver' for 'devid' (dangerous)
-r driver remove 'driver'
-l list installed drivers
-m write configuration for modprobe
-ma write module alias configuration for all devices
-mi write module install configuration for all devices
-v report version information

where 'devid' is either PCIID or USBID of the form XXXXXXX,
as reported by 'lspci -n' or 'lsusb' for the card
