i have a problem using my wireless card with 32 bit driver with my opensuse 11 x86_64.

Using ndiswrapper and load it into kernel i get this dmesg
*************************************************************************************
ndiswrapper version 1.52 loaded (smp=yes, preempt=no)
ndiswrapper (check_nt_hdr:150): kernel is 64-bit, but Windows driver is not 64-bit;bad magic: 010B
ndiswrapper (load_sys_files:210): couldn't prepare driver 'wg311v2'
ndiswrapper (load_wrap_driver:112): couldn't load driver wg311v2; check system log for messages from 'loadndisdriver'
usbcore: registered new interface driver ndiswrapper
*************************************************************************************

there is a remote possibility that i can use my wireless card on a linux 64bit??

Thank you

if you have the 64bit driver, probably. Failing that, you could use the acx drivers.

Thank you,

unfortunatly i haven't a 64 bit driver as this USRobotics Windows Vista, Server 2003, XP, XP 64 bit, and 2000 Compatibility : Europe - Nordics and ACX driver work bed with my card. In fact also on 32bit so i must install ndiswrapper becouse the acx view the card, but can't connect to wireless network.

Have other ideas?

the only way you will get it working is if you have a 64bit driver for ndiswrapper,or as stated acx driver. failing that, install 32bit SuSE & it will work with 32bit driver
