D-Link DWL-G122 rev D1 ndiswrapper any luck?

English Hardware
1

Hello,

I am trying to get my d-link dwl-g122 rev d1 USB dongle to work on OpenSUSE 11.1. No luck so far.

I got it working with Debian Lenny and with Mandriva 2009 (not right away).

Successfully got the ndiswrapper installed.
Did the modprobe.
The green LEDs (ACT/LINK) on the USB are NOT ON.

I read in openSUSE documentation to add a network device. But
Yast does not have “Network Devices->Add network device” icon.

Thanks in advance for your suggestions/help.

Here is the information that might be useful in helping me.
