Okay I just installed SuSE 10.1 on a friends Gateway laptop. Everything
more or less went smooth except I can't get his wireless card working.
This is a dual boot laptop on the MS side everything is okay and when I
use an ethernet cable everything is all right but when I try going
wireless its dead. YaST says its a Gateway 2000 88E8038 PCI-E Fast
Ethernet Controller. I don't know if he has a seperate wireless
controller or not. but like I said it works in MS and this is all that
YaST sees. Any ideas?


I had a hard time getting things working with a wired connection.  I had to use the "traditional" method with "ifup."  But I was able to get the wireless working with the Network Manager at a hotel the other day.
Have you tried both ways in YAST?
