I don't have wlan0 in linux???

Question

when I configure my wlan in SUSE Linux is says that wlan0 is not found, is it because I don't have wireless extensions? where do i get wireless extensions?

I have a wireless zd1211 adaptor and even after I installed ndiswrapper and the windows driver it still don't show wlan0, what's wrong???

Answer 1

I had the same problem.

Before you go too far I'd first find out if you can even get Linux drivers for your Hardware. I had to ditch my 54g and go for the more widely supported wl110 card.

I'd say this is one of the biggest issues for Linux users right now.
