Hi,
I have installed this card on Ubuntu, Kubuntu, Mepis, and on Fedora (Fedora required a custom kernel with the 4k stack limit disabled). Does OpenSuse have the 4k stack enabled? So I have a decent about of experience with linux, installing my network card, and KDE3; but I have little experience with OpenSuse and KDE4.
OpenSuse 11 looks awsome and I’d like to get this card working on it. I don’t have internet on the computer that I’m trying to install my wireless card on until I get my card working.
The problem is that I can’t detect or connect to any networks after installing the driver…
Here are the steps I took to try to install.
The ‘#’ just means I typed it in the terminal with root.
su -
ndiswrapper -i netani.inf
ndiswrapper -l
netani : driver installed
device (17CB:0001) present
depmod -a
modprobe ndiswrapper
ndiswrapper -m
{
YaST -> Network Devices -> Network Settings
I select “AGN100 802.11 a/b/g True MIMO Wireless Card”, then press edit
I type “ndiswrapper” in “Module Name” (under the Hardware tab). Then I press next twice (leaving everything else as default).
Then I press finish.
}
rcnetwork restart
{
then I open KNetworkManager/KDE3, since YaSt closed it when I pressed finish.
I go to “New connection …” then wlan0.
The list of Essid is black. I even try typing in the name of my Essid (which currently has encryption disabled) and then “Connect & Save”, but after about 10 secons af the icon being that purple gear, it goes back to the grey globe.
}

1 ) make and model of wireless device.
Belkin Pre-N F5D8000
pci network card
2 ) driver version in use
ndiswrapper -l
netani : driver installed
device (17CB:0001) present
3 ) any error message.
dmesg | egrep ‘ath|wifi|hal’
Doesn’t display anything. I’m not sure if that’s a problem.
4 ) what you have tried to rectify the problem.
Fooling around with the settings in YaST and KNetworkManager. A clean install. Browsing through the forums.
I tried setting “Firewall Zone” in the “Network Settings” in YaST to “External Zone” from “Firewall Disabled”.
I tried disabling the YaST firewall and Novell AppArmor.
5 ) any trouble-shooting guide you have tried to follow.
Ndiswrapper - openSUSE
Ndiswrapper howto - openSUSE
6 ) openSUSE version
11 with KDE 4 from the cd
7 ) type /sbin/lspci -v" in a terminal; copy and paste the section that identifies your wireless card and it’s chipset.
‘lspci -nnv’ before install ndiswrapper

8 ) if it is a usb device type lsusb in a terminal;copy and paste the result
Not a usb, it’s a pci network card.
Any ideas?
