SUSE Linux Lifetime - openSUSE

You should upgrade, openSUSE is dead and you won’t find ready made madwifi-packages supporting your card and 10.2.

And you can upgrade, download an installer CD (Netinstall is not too big, 11.1 will support your card OOTB) with whatever machine you have internet access, or how do you post here?

You can also buy CDs/DVDs from 3rd party resellers (or you find them in some magazines) or you buy the box.

BTW:

What is winblows?

I only know windows.
