jdkoola 0 Posted March 26, 2006 Hi, I'm using Suse 10.0 with a Belkin wireless pci card: f5d7000 the one with the atheros chipset. I am using ndiswrapper, that came with the Suse distribution CDs. I had originally configured the wireless card with ndiswrapper and Yast, and things were working perfectly. However, I did an online update, and after that I can no longer connect to my home network. The card is still operational. YaST recognizes it. I can do: ifconfig ath0 up and everything goes smoothly. However, it isn't connecting. I have tried dhcpcd ath0 but it just sits there for a few seconds, does nothing, and when I check ifconfig, ath0 is no longer listed. I am using WPA, and I dont know if the online update somehow might have broken things. Any insight would be appreciated Share this post Link to post
zenarcher 0 Posted March 27, 2006 I had a similar situation awhile back and it was due to the kernel update. In order to correct it, I had to do a clean uninstall of my wireless and recompile ndiswrapper with the updated kernel before it would work again. Regards, zenarcher Share this post Link to post
danleff 0 Posted March 27, 2006 zenarcher is absolutely correct. Ndiswrapper is used as a module, so that if you update the kernel, it needs to be installed/reconfigured for the new kernel. Share this post Link to post
