Novell Linux Desktop Powered by SuSE

Chad: I downloaded & installed the new NLD, and it looks great. The problem is that NLD does not recognize my SMC PCMCIA NIC CARD (SMC2336W-AG) that previous versions of SuSe had. Do you have any suggestions? I have been to the Novell support page and have not found any help there! Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!

Hmmm.... ok, let's start with this. Post the output of these commands while your SMC2336W-AG card is inserted (go ahead and be root when you do these):

1.) lsmod
2.) lspci
3.) cardctl show

Here's a URL I found while Googling for "suse linux SMC2336W-AG"

It might be helpful.

NLD and Enterpise SuSE have been in the news a lot lately.
