WG111v3 on openSUSE11

English Network/Internet
#1

I’ve followed the instructions to install drivers for my WG111v3 on openSUSE11 from SDB:WG111v3 - openSUSE.

I’ve managed to use ndiswrapper to isntall the driver

jon@dhcppc0:~> /usr/sbin/ndiswrapper -l
wg111v3 : driver installed
device (0846:4260) present

but sudo /sbin/modprobe /usr/sbin/ndiswrapper
gives me

FATAL: Module /usr/sbin/ndiswrapper not found.

Could someone point me in the right direction? Do I need to some how load ndiswrapper?

I’ve now managed to configure the wg111v3 via YAST setting the module to be ndiswrapper.

It seems to load on boot no problem, but I cannot get a connection to the wireless network.

Is there some way I can get some sort of log/feedback from the attempts to connect? I get no errors at all - other than it keeps asking me again for the WEP key, which I’m giving it correctly!

Hi
Um, /usr/sbin/ndiswrapper is a program not the ‘ndiswrapper’
module…

Try sudo modprobe ndiswrapper or /sbin/modprobe ndiswrapper

lsmod will show if it’s installed ok.
