[Cialug] SUSE 10.1

[Carl Olsen]

It's slow going.  It says 802.11b and my card is 802.11g.  I've figured out
how to set the ESSID, set the encryption key to 1, set the value of the key
to a 128-bit hex value, but it still isn't working.  I suppose I should
check the router next and see if it thinks it has a connection.

I have a Netgear WG511v2 which uses the Marvell chipset.  If your card
uses that, you might  have to resort to NDIS Wrapper.  I still haven't
successfully got that to work, but everything I see says you have to
use NDIS with Marvell.
