[wellylug] wireless adapter

[dugan]

Robin,

I started with Suse 9.1 that did not come with the rt2400 module.  I 
downloaded that from rt2x00.serialmonkey.com, compiled it, installed it and 
ran ifconfig.  The driver appeared to recognise but the transmitter and 
receiver refused to turn on.  When I ran the accompanying configuration tool 
[Rconfig], it did not find the card on its scan.  Serialmonkey recommended 
the updated version of the rt2400 driver.  The attempt to compile that 
crashed the system completely.  I decided to update to Suse 9.3 which 
includes the rt2400 driver.  It recognised the driver.  But the configuration 
resulted in a segmentation fault, also reported by other posts to the 
serialmonkey list.  So I gave up.  

Bob
