Realtek RTL8187B Driver for OpenSuSE?

English Network/Internet
#1

I’ve installed OpenSuSE 11.0, everything has been great, except for the networking. I found out I didn’t install a network card driver. My wireless is RTL8187B, but I can’t find a driver for Linux. How do I get it? Thanks!

That driver was put in the kernel in 2.6.27. You can either implement that
kernel version, or you can use compat-wireless. I’ll leave the details as homework.

And how to get and setup this kernel, please suggest.

Read the back postings in this forum or use Google. FWIW, the compat-wireless
package will be easier.
