on my laptop desktop in a folder i have- madwifi-0.9.4.tar.gz, madwifi-0.9.4, madwifi-kmp-default-0.9.3.3_2.6.24_rc3_git1_3-1.i586.rpm

also have my XP wireless card drivers, ndisgtk-0.8-1.pm.1.i586.rpm, ndiswrapper-update-kmp-default-1.52_2.6.22.17_0.1-0.pm.1.i586.rpm, madwifi.ymp, ndiswrapper-kmp-default-1.52_2.6.22.5_31-0.pm.1.i586.rpm on my desktop
dont know where to go from here, tried the madwifi first while looking at the othere options but stuck

how do i get my wireless card working?

thanks

you only need the madwifi -0.9.3.3-0.1.i586 & madwifi-kmp-default-0..9.3.3_2.6.22.16_0.2-0.1.i586 rpm's to get it working. the easiest way is to add the madwifi repositories & install from there

how do i install them?
when i right click on them there isnt an Install with Yast option
and i dont know how to get them into yast

if you are using the KDE desktop, you can right-click them & select install with YaST from the menu.or look here for instructions on putting the madwifi repo in YaST http://en.opensuse.org/Additional_YaST_Pac...itories#MadWifi

using gnome desktop.
i can find yast but cant find the option 'Installation Source' there isnt an installation source in my software section, is it named something else, i have installation into directory but that doesnt have an add button

try the one-click install then. http://packages.opensuse-community.org/ind...ro=openSUSE_103

Andy

im not connected to the internet so i cant hit the install button, i need to get my wireless card working first

can i add an 'Installation Source' into yast for adding updates on my own in the future since i dont have one?
hows that done

thanks

let's try this way. you have the two rpms required ? make a folder in your home directory.put the two rpms inside it.. then do this:

1 ) open a console
2 ) cd to the folder where the rpms are. mine would be wireless ( as an example ) so, it would be cd /home/andy/wireless change as necessary
3 ) su to root
4 ) type rpm -Uhv *.rpm and press enter.let it do it's stuff
5 ) once done, type SuSEconfig and press enter, let it do it's stuff
6 ) type ldconfig and press enter, let it do it's stuff. you should be back at the prompt.
7 ) then type modprobe ath_pci then press enter.your wireless device *should* now be active.
8 ) close the console.
9 ) go to YaST - network devices - network cards & configure your wireless device
see if this works

typed rpm -Uhv *.rpm
pressed enter then got this
warning: madwifi-0.9.3.3-0.1.i586.rpm: header v3 dsa signature: nokey, key id 7b 4d017e
error: failed dependencies:

you need the madwifi rpm that matches your kernel
