Thanks for your prompt reply, Josef.
I looked on the novell forums but have not yet posted. A large part of my problem is de to linux-ignorance. Any hand-holding you can provide would be much appreciated.
For example, the Cisco doc Linux-ACU-Driver-v21ReleaseNotes.pdf talks about the need for libgtkmm version 1.2.10 libsigc++ version 1.0.4. I searched and found several files that *might* be those libraries, but they are all for diferent versions of SuSE linux - 7.x, 9.0 and 9.1, but none for SuSe desktop Linux 1.0. (I downloaded all three, but have not yet tried to install(compile?) them: libsigc++-1.0.4.tar.gz , libsigc++-2.0.6.tar.gz and libsigc++-1.2.5.tar.gz). I also downloaded three different rpms: gtkmm-1.2.10-154.src.rpm, gtkmm-1.2.10-31.src.rpm and gtkmm-1.2.10-297.src.rpm.
I realize that my underlying confusion about Linux is a problem. I am tackling this in two directions: 1.] Doing bottom-up learning about Linux in general, and 2.] tasking myself with specific problems to solve, such as getting this 802.11a/b/g card to work.
Another complicating factor is that the card is too new and Cisco has not released a specific driver. However, other posts on this forum indicate that I *might* be able to get it to work with the 350 driver.
Here's some embarrasing newbie questions: what steps do I perform to install a library? Does one need to complile the library source, or should one search for an rpm?
Finally, upon re-examining the hardware info in YAST2, I notice that it sees the hardware, but does not list an associated driver. (for example, the 3Com lan card shows up in YAST2 with a "+Driver" , but there is no "+Driver" listed for the wireless card). So, I have not only a problem with ACU, but also need a driver. The file linux-acu-driver-v21.tar.gz contains drivers for the 350 card along with an "experimental" driver that might be the one for the a/b/g cardbus card.
Help! :-D
TIA, Steve
