Many of openSUSE's pre-installed native-wifi-drivers require firmware that
they do NOT pre-install, so the odds of having wifi work right from the LiveCD aren't very good. (I didn't try installing firmware while booted under a LiveCD, as my device also had the new-but-broken 'ath5k' driver installed, but not the working 'ath_pci' (which also won't configure correctly, so I resorted to 'ndiswrapper'). Bottom-line...openSUSE 11.0 has so many wireless glitches that the idea of a LiveCD for wifi evaluation is moot. You need post-install patches, and/or firmware, etc, to get most wireless devices working. |
