[lwlan-user] ZoomAir 4001 on SuSE 8.0/8.1 - Nobody here?

[Epelde Gorka]

I'm not really sure of it, but i think that the drivers for the Prism1 chip
are in the linux-wlan project FTP. This project was done before the actual
linux-wlan-ng project. You should download the sources, read the readme's
and build it for your machine and try to make it work, then if you're not
able to make them run, you should ask in the distribution lists.

The URL is in the linux-wlan.com page for the download section is
http://www.linux-wlan.com/download.html
There you have an url to the old projects ftp ->
ftp.linux-wlan.org/pub/linux-wlan 

Download the tarball untar it, build it and work to make it work. 

I have never worked with this files but i guess that they would be like the
actual ones. I think that people in the distribution list would have more
idea than me and would help you with it. 

GOOD LUCK!!

P.D: Please correct me, if i have said anything wrong.

Hello!

Sorry for repeating my please for help, but I wonder that nobody did answer.

Please, give me some help, I have absolutely no knowledge with wlan, so I
feel
very unsecure.
_____

Since more than 1 1/2 years I have some ZoomAir 4001 WLAN cards. They are
based on a PRISM-1 Chip and support 2 MBit/s. I got them very cheap and I
thought it will be easy to get them working, but since then, I never had
success. Now I tried it again with SuSE 8.0, but it still not works. The
card
insertion is detected, but no driver installed.

I guess that SuSE 8.0 should already have a wlan driver for PRISM-1 inside,
so
I have the silent hope that I will not have to build my own drivers. Maybe,
there is only something to add to a config file to make the card working
with
default drivers in SuSE, this will be my preference before any odyssee of
compiling new drivers/kernels. If not, I will have to compile drivers, but
which ones?...

Please: Is somebody here who can lead me through the install process? I am
an
absolute newcomer to wlan and have therefore absolutely no experience with
it.
Maybe one has already written down the whole process in a fool-proof
step-by-step description?

Please, be so kind and help. Now, after more than 1 year, I would like to
get
this working, weather is too fine to sit indoors instead with a laptop in
the
garden... ;-)
