Okay I followed the tutorial on YaST and setting up a wifi USB device.

I installed everything like it said successfully, however loading the driver files I think wasn't working properly. I'd type it, it'd say error or something like that, invalid file not found type thing. Then I'd re-enter it and it would say "prisma02.inf" already installed! It's a dlink GWL-122 rev a.2 model USB adapter by the way.

So is it? Or not? I rebooted and still no connection yet. It shows a link signal solid green, but no activity and I don't see an icon or am able to browse a webpage successfully yet.

I feel I'm close to solving this, but hoping for advice or anyone else who uses similar stuff and experienced the same situation by any chance? Thanks all!

Well I've gone through as many network tutorial things as I can take tonight with no luck still.

I guess I may have to start at the beginning again and do it allover. Everything seems right. I think everything installed properly, but I'm not sure. I found a "native linux driver" for my USB dongle apparently, but don't know if it works or not really...or if it's even actually a true linux driver for it...

I got the USB thing to have the "link" light on, but the activity light is still out and 'iwconfig' lists no wireless extensions, blah humbug. I hate wireless. If only my router wasn't upstairs I'd be all set right now...dammit, oh well.

If anyone can help me out on this wirelessly I'd appreciate it! WiFi is my only option in this room really right now, stinks so much! Wish I could go gigabit hardlined...mmm...
