I’ve just installed Opensuse 11.3 on m Dell Studio 15, and am having problems getting the wireless card to work.
I’ve installed the proper driver (I think), using ndiswrapper, and have blacklisted the conflicting driver (called ssb) to the 50-blacklist.conf file in /etc/modprobe.d/
My problem is that the ssb driver is still appearing as an alternate driver when I use the command ndiswrapper -l in the terminal.
Where do I go from here? Am I correct that the ssb driver is not blacklisted correctly?
Be advised, I have absolutely no Linux experience. This is my first day using the system.
Thanks in advance.
Edit: I tracked down some native Linux drivers for the wireless card. But I cannot find any information on how to install them. Everything I find tells me how to use ndiswrapper to install windows drivers (ie: what I’ve been doing above).
The edit button doesn’t appear to be showing up for me.
UPDATE:
The drivers were from Broadcom, and I’ve extracted the tar.gz file to the appropriate directory as per their instructions in the readme file. The problem I’m having now is when I try to use the “make” command.
I get the error:
KBUILD_NOPEDANTIC=1 make -C /lib/modules/uname -r/build M=pwd
make: *** /lib/modules/2.6.34-12-desktop/build: No such file or directory. Stop.
make: *** [all] Error 2

Read the forums FAQ and you’ll see that there is a 10 minute edit window
and the reasons why that’s in place - and before you ask, no, we’re not
going to change it.

If you had really done a search for “kernel”, you should have seen a lot more
entries.
