Suse Linux 10 on Dell Laptop E6500

Hi Guys, Is anyone running Suse Linux 10.0 on a Dell Latitude e6500 Laptop? I cant seem to get the LAN and Sound Drivers. Anyone know of a site where I can download them? Many Thanks Jimmy

Hey man, Been using SUSE though im currently in 11.1 Sure there are quite some bug in the Network Manager for the suse you are using, to be quite honest the issues were not fully fixed in 11.1 so lets hope there shall be changes in 11.2 which chuks in Nov. Anyway you need to stop using Network manager controlled for network and use traditional ifup. That option is in network settings. Cheers man.

Btw also in suse 11.1 you can view data modems on the Network manager very well, perhaps you could give it a try. Themburu On Thu, Oct 29, 2009 at 4:31 PM, david aliata <aliatadavid@gmail.com> wrote:
