It works fine in Windows XP, so there's obviously a signal. Any ideas?

The solution was closer than I thought. WLAN was disabled from the bios! Glad I check that. First I suspected the radio button but bluetooth was working fine. A bit big problem got now it's easy solution. So now beginning time without wires... :) Thank you for your co-operation. Let that be as advice for all, keep it simple :) ___________________ lat 60 10 N long 25 0 E Oh no… The solution was closer than I thought.

First of all there were no drivers installed by the default kernel. Now the lspci and lsmod output are the same as above. I've installed the packages and ipw3945d was loaded succesfully. I have setup the network with yast. But in the end, no eth1 anywhere! No success. First of all there were no drivers installed by the default kernel.

A very useful article that helped me solve this problem. It's probably worth mentioning that you need to be logged in as root to perform the commands. I didn't realize this and spent a while figuring out why 'command not found' kept appearing. Thanks once again though Thanks for this. A very useful article that helped me solve this problem.
