Hi All,

Have updated my kernel (now 2.4.21-243-athlon) and
installed the correct driverloader from linuxant for
my Linksys WMP54G PCI wireless adaptor.

I am now trying to configure the card using YAST
Network Devices and Network Services. All seems to go
well until I reach 'activate network'. I have
configured the card as  wlan1 with DHCP as I have
another Realtek RT8139 card configured as eth0 with
DHCP.

I am trying to connect to by broadband wireless modem
which I know works with a Win Laptop connected to it
via ethernet.

I do not know what to put in for the Host Name or
Domain Name, for the Routing, DHCP Client Options and
for the Kernel module I have airo_cs.
I also do not know what to put for any of the Wireless
settings: Operating Mode, Network Name (ESSID),
Network Identifier (NWID), Encryption Key or NIck
Name. 

With regard to the hardware, I have a green light on
the back of my card, so I know it has power!

Do I have to configure the network using Loacl Network
Browsing?

AN INCREDIBLE LIST OF QUESTIONS, I KNOW!

Any thoughts?

Thank you, Stuart.
