opensuse kde + wireless compatibility

English Network/Internet
1

Hello,

I am new to opensuse

I would like to make a livedvd of the kde distribution to test on my system.

I don’t know which version to download or from where.

I would also like to know if I am likely to have any problem in connecting the livedvd to the router via wi-fi

I have the following product:

RT2561/RT61 802.11g PCI

Thanks

I have the following product:

RT2561/RT61 802.11g PCI

Better is to show the ID of the Hardware.

/sbin/lspci -nnk | grep -iA3 net

If it is one of this ID’s, it should work:

The command does not work on my machine (kubuntu 14.04).

It is mentioned in the cateee.net page

The command does not work on my machine (kubuntu 14.04).

Maybe because lspci ist not in the sbin-Directory?

Try:

sudo lspci -nnk | grep -iA3 net

Here are the data:

That should work, supported by Kernel 3.17 and higher.
