A-link Wl54usb

Edit. Sorry.

It's auto-detected during install and thus works out of the box with openSUSE 10.3!



..at least on WPA PSK encrypted network

On your firstt post: I doubt if you have the packet kernel-source installed. That may be the reason that config.h is not found. Check with YaST > Software Management. Install when not already and try again.

I did a complete reinstall of openSuse 10.3.

Having a separate home partition really rocks! It's so painless. 20 minutes and you're back with pretty much identical system, only it's fresh!

So anyways during install Suse auto-detected the stick and all I had to do was to give it the WPA PSK and now it works! Out of the box. Someone should add it to the HCL

Why don't you add it to the HCL (the openSUSE HCL is a community effort -- anyone can edit)

I did, however I already ran into problems.

Can't understand why my internet speed performance is like "back in the days" especially if I'm running ktorrent at the back.. can hardly go over 20 kbps and most of the time everything is just stalled. And it's not the seeds, cause if lan is plugged in I get faster than 1000 kbps speeds..

also my internet browsing becomes so so sloooooooow :huh:

Have you turned off IPv6 in the Yast configuratin of network interfaces?

Eh, I updated my router's bios. It seems to have done the trick. It's just too bad that I can't change any settings of my router any longer. I'm now running an open network. Not sure I'm comfortable with that. On brighter side everything else seems to work like a charm now.. :lol:

Hehe..

It's getting late. I'll have to get back to this after the weekend


edit. actually nah, still getting slow as hell performance. It comes in waves..

and yeah I had disabled ipv6..

Okay I (think) I now know what the problem is. I got pretty desperate with my router and while at it I did lots of changes in Yast and in the end I ended up doing yet another fresh Suse install. So now everything works 100%.

The thing I haven't done yet?


Update..


I'm thinking it's a kernel thing and thus will not update that.


Let's hope this will be the end of it


edit.

Okay so it wasn't the kernel updates cos it's still working. Trying to figure out what I've done differently this time. Well I didn't add that build service wireless repo thing. Maybe it's that? Don't know.. either way I'm happy it just works

Back with the so and so performance. I'm getting awful a lot of:

It ran perfect for a 2 hours or so and then this **** started.. :unsure:


edit. googling around.. it seems to be inter-distro thing..

I think this happened when I mounted some other usb thing. Wouldn't matter if that's the only time this occurs.. we'll see..
