Installing Window Dell Drivers On Suse Linux

#1 (**permalink**) 26-May-2006, 13:45

Guyz,

I bought Dell Laptop E1405 Duo Core. I installed Suse Linux 9 on it.
But now I want to install: Dell Wireless 1390 802.11g Mini Card (54Mbps) on it.

I also want to install sound drivers on it.

I am newbie to Suse and to whole Linux system as well.

Could anyone please help me out.

Do wireless and sound work now (i mean without drivers)?

Thanks,

is the wireless card recognised by suse ? go to yast -network devices -network cards & see if it is recognised. if not you may need to use ndiswrapper. as for sound, go to yast - hardware - sound & see if the card is recognised. post back with any problems

I have a similar Dell Wireless (1350 I believe) and I had to use ndiswrapper in order to get it to work.
