hi, thank you so much for your support. the adapter model is Belkin F5D7050 i read those instructions and followed them to no avail. i am using ndiswrapper which was shipped with suse, as i was unaware there are newer versions as it never appeared in YOU. concernig loading both interfaces: i do not need them to be loaded on boot (well it would be nice, but i can live without that) what i meant was, i need them both to be active. with knetworkmanager i was able to be on wirelles OR on lan, i'd like to be on both. my isp connection: i am connecting thru lan to my mate's windows box, where he is receiving wirelles connection, which he shares. so my isp connection now is that static one. but i'd like it to be wlan, so we wouldn't have to share available bandwidth. yes i did succesfuly installed windows driver (identified as rt73 by ndiswrapper) and i have also loaded ndiswrapper kernel module (if that's what ndiswrapper -m does) - lsmod | grep ndiswrapper shows the module. the network isn't using WPA. well that's about it, thanks again for your time, hi hope my english isn't very bad;)

hi! i also have problems with my belkin 54g usb adapter on suse 10.1... i couldn't connect to wlan at all using knetworkmanager (well, i connected ONCE in like 30 times i tried, but i wasn't able to reproduce the settings after restart...) i googled for a bit of time (rather big bit that was, and yhe outcome was a suggestion, that traditional method (with ifup) should be used in such situation. this seemed ok, as i also need both my network interfaces (eth0 & wlan0) active at the same time-smthng what knetworkmanager is incapable of (if i'm wrong tell me pls, i rather like the util). well i RTFM for ifconfig, ifup, ifdown, ethtool, iwconfig etc... and tried my luck... guess what-i wasn't able to connect wlan0. only eth0. after another rather big bit of googling i thought i had a solution. i found a thread somewhere (if i'd only remember where ;() where this guy described exactly same problems as mine are. after a few posts he claimed to have them solved by following sequence: ifdown eth0 ifdown wlan0 ifup wlan0 ifup eth0 that the problem was in the starting order of devices, that eth0 has to be started AFTER wlan0. oh, how happy i was...until i found out that this isn't the solution for me... so, here i am - asking humbly for help... you see, this is one of like 5 things i am not able to solve on my linux box to be able to do what i want without having windoze installed (others include: i can't upload to proftpd ftp server even when the permissions on the upload folder are ok, make smb4k able to actually scan the network, not only find the hosts which i enter, correctly displying national characters in mplayer (i'm from slovak republic)-this one seems more impossible than a week of uptime on winxp used dy ordinary gaming user) and a few others...) well, back to my most accute network problem... here is my config info: suse linux 10.1 kernel 2.6.16.13-4 toshiba equium a60 laptop eth0: realtek (the most common one, can't remember the number (5139? or smthng like that)) configured with static adress/net mask using routing wlan0 belkin wireless g usb network adapter configured with dhcp using ndiswrapper 1.10-19, winxp driver recognized as rt73 driver installed/hardware present well, that's about it, if you'd be willing to help, i could provide virtually any info you could possibly need... thanks in advance p.s. really sorry for such long post, but this has caused me so much frustration over last few days, that i just had to get it out... cheers
