Toshiba Satellite P15-S409 and Suse 9.0 Wireless

[Joel Hammer]

Good luck. I tried installing a wireless card said to
work in linux, the DWL-520 or some such. It was a complete
fiasco. What I learned, after many hours, was that wireless
support in linux for PCI cards has a long way to go. The
really annoying thing was that drivers said to support
this card didn't. Period.
