Wifi Under Linux? With My WUSB54G

[michaelper22 0]

I understand that SuSE Linux has support for WiFi (I found a couple of options in YaST's network device modules for WiFi adapters). My question is: How can I sue my Linksys WUSB54G adapter in SuSE linux 9.1 Professional? If so, do I need any drivers and/or additional software? This would greatly help me - I am a newbie in Linux (pretty much all I can do is install software, and I set up the MySQL server and can't use it).

If I am correct this usb-wife adapter should work with the rt2500 drivers. The only problem is that these are not supported in the kernel that comes with SuSe 9.1 since you need atleast 2.6.15. But you can also download the drivers and compile them yourself against your kernel version.

Another option is to use ndiswrapper in combination with the .ini file on the windows-driver-cdrom

info about howto do so can be found here for the rt2500 drivers and here for ndiswrapper.

Good luck
