Default Opensuse 11 and my stupid Netgear WG111
So,finally I have Opensuse 11 on my PC and it's so awesome so far but no internet!!
I don't have a PCI-E WiFi card.I use Netgear WG111 WiFi USB dongle and I have only Windows drivers for it.How do get it to work on Opensuse 11?
Wine?

Use ndiswrapper to install windows driver. It should work.

Mine is version one.If it were version two there would have been v2 at after WG111.How would I know that?Don't call anyone 'noob' without proper reasons.There was no v1 or v2 after its name.How the hell could I figure it out?
I would have known the version if I had bought it myself.Some idiot computer guy got it for me.

And thanks for that link.

Just to add to your very little knowledge about me,I have used Linux for about 2-3 months and I tell you I had a lot of troubleshooting to do.My GPU wasn't supported but I somehow managed to get it working.C'mon I got my Mac just 2 months ago!
YaST won't help.That stupid thing needs drivers.

The adapter works fine on ndiswrapper according to the wiki, see here

http://ndiswrapper.sourceforge.net/j...3/id,list_m-n/

entry number 9

For starters, you can install ndiswrapper through YaST

Its as simple as pie. Just extract your windows driver in some folder. There should be some some exe, inf, ini etc. Run ndiswrapper and select the inf. Thats it.

BTW, isn't it amusing that you are having trouble with NetGear ? (for starters, Novell made an OS called Novell NetWare, and it sounds similar to NetGear )
