I was working with support through email, but have not heard back from
support.. Perhaps someone on the list can help me.. Heres where we left
off..

Thanks if someone can help me get it working :)

---

I dual boot my system with WINXP and SuSE9 and Wireless works ok through
windows. Its an internal card so theres no antenna or anything..

I did a "dldrconfig --dumpdiag" and its attached..

I did as you requested but still dont see anything different.. is there
anything I can try? perhaps you see something different in the attached
file..
