hi everybody
i’ve just installed openSUSE 11.3 on my dell studio xps 1640. but i have problem with my WLAN . it’s a WLAN 1640 mini-card and i think there is no problem with driver. because it seems that it’s installed correctly but i can’t see any wireless networks (it says “Device is not ready”).
is there any suggestions?
by the way, when i turn my wireless to on (it’s a touch key not a switch) only my bluetooth indicator is enabled not my wifi indicator.
thakns everyone.

I think you 1397 is some kind of Broadcom device, but I don’t know which one. I
don’t think that all 1397s are the same. Thus, as usual, we need to know what
it is. Post the results of
/sbin/lspci -nnk
You only need to post the network parts of the above.
