OpenSUSE(10.3) and Marvell

[cr2]

I have a laptop with a Marvell TOPDOG network card, and both OpenSUSE 10.3 and Windows Vista Home Premium.

Marvell TOPDOG (TM) PCI-Express 802.11n Wireless (EC85)

There are no drivers for this card that work on openSUSE via ndiswrapper.

I also tried using a driver for a similar card that should work with the TOPDOG. I did install the driver successfully with ndiswrapper. The problem with that comes up when I try to install ndiswrapper as a module. I install ndiswrapper as a module, but when I modprobe, ndiswrapper doesn't show up.

In other words, I can't use the internet on linux.

A quick search brought up this thread, which seems like it may work for you even though it's about doing the same thing on ubuntu: http://ge.ubuntuforums.com/showthread.p ... 0&t=575785

Um, what modprobe command are you using, exactly? Can you provide the output of the command and the command itself?

Or, alternatively, ship me a marvell topdog card and an 802.11n access point, and I'll get it working with my opensuse 10.3 machine and write up a nice little tutorial.
