[Prism54-users] Help: SMC2802W - SUCCESS on SuSE 8.2 (with newer hotplug), Thanks

[Milan Zimmermann]

Jens, Sepp,

Thanks both of you for your suggestions.

The core of my problem was, as you both of you suggested, the '/sbin/hotplug'.

SuSE 8.2 seems to have a very old version (2001) and once I put some echo 
statements there, they showed it never makes it behind first line, it 
expected file "/var/lock/subsys/hotplug' file to exist and it was not there.

Once I changed that, things started working but I upgraded to latest hotplug 
from SourceForge anyway.

Everything works nicely, and seems quite fast.

For all who have SuSE 8.2 - it seems that updating hotplug is a wise thing to 
do before installing wireless.

Thanks again to all who helped, Milan
