I have a new install of OpenSuSE 11.2 on a ThinkPad T23. I cannot get a Linksys WPC54G version 4 pcmcia wireless card to work. (It works fine in this machine running Windows XP Pro, using driver i2220ntx.sys.)
The 11.2 system recognizes the card, but there is no wlan0:
ifstatus wlan0
Interface wlan0 is not available
In Yast Hardware Information, the wireless card is listed under Network Card as “[AirConn] INPROCOMM IPN 2220 Wireless LAN Adapter (rev 01)”. Details are:

I installed:
ipw-firmware - Firmware for Intel PRO/Wireless WLAN Cards
This package contains firmware binaries needed for Intel PRO/Wireless 2100/2200BG (aka Centrino) WLAN cards.
The log message about firmware is:
dmesg | grep firmware
8.957296] thinkpad_acpi: asked for hotkey mask 0x0077ffff, but firmware forced it to 0x0000084c
How do I proceed from here?
Thanks,
Howard
