[LBo] wireless choices

[Gregg Nicholas]

I was continuing my search for a distro that would work with my wifi 
devices.  While downloading the latest betas of Mepis and Mandriva I 
decided to play around some more with OpenSUSE 10.3b2.  Surprisingly, I 
got an IP address from DHCP.  After a little more playing around with 
network settings, I was actually able to use the Internet via my D-Link 
WUA-1340 (usb) with ndiswrapper.  I could've sworn that I didn't really 
change anything from my previous tests - and yet the undeniable proof is 
that it is now working.

I realize that my success with wireless in this situation doesn't mean 
much to the members of this list, but I wanted to reassure those who 
were struggling to come up with a solution for me.  I still wish that 
wireless configuration would be simpler for the average user.

Thank you very much for your help.
