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

[Rainer Hantsch]

Hi, Epelde Gorka!

Thanks for your hint to look at this URL, where I probably will get some
sources.

What I permanently think about - and what I can't believe is:
-------------------------------------------------------------
Wlan for PRISM-1 chipset should meanwhile is surely more than two years old.
Shouldn't meanwhile exist the right drivers in every bigger or major
distribution (as SuSE)? I am relatively sure that this will be the
case, but there is only some need for adding the right assignment(s) to config
files...

Please, correct me if I am wrong.

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

| 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... ;-)
