Does this nightmare ever end? headdesk I’ve had trouble in the past, that were never resolved, but now the forum has changed and I’ve done a complete reinstallation so… A new thread 
Although for those who feel curious you can read all about my heartache here.
Now for the questions:
- TP-Link WR641G
- No idea what a driver is because I can’t understand computer talk (or at least when it’s concerning Suse)
- Not at the moment since I installed 10.3 (again) - so I’m back to square one.
- I added a wireless network card (not really knowing what I was doing) but I added the passphrase and stuff like that. No effect.
- Well, I brought up the problem in another forum here
- 10.3
- I typed in
/sbin/lspci -v"
but absolutely nothing happened. there’s just a > there
8. lsusb ?
And to summarize my problem: What am I supposed to do to get Internet on this… well, not very cooperative computer?

Hi
7. I typed in > /sbin/lspci -v" is the problem it is just the command
which starts at the /
/sbin/lspci -v

Hi
Can you get a long cable to connect to the wireless router or move the
computer temporarily?

Unfortunately not seeing as the computer weighs an enormous amount and I don’t have a long enough cable.

Hi
Well, have you thought about a bridge? I use a Linksys WET54G for those
situations.

A bridge? I think I have one. Something called Netgear, which was the brand of our previous router, but then that one broke and we got a TP-Link router. I’ve sort of assumed that it still works to the new router, how do i make sure?
