Hi, all.
Anyone successfully got a Nokia C110 Wlan card up-and-running?
I'm using SuSE, and as our local marketplace is now Wlan-covered, I want to use it.
Tried a few things, never found a signal. Plus, it's minus 17degrees Centigrade at the moment and I don't particularly wanna spend TOO long sitting on a bench, figuring it out...

Step-by-step would help bigtime! I'm totally n00b to this, so any idea what I'm looking for/how to test would be great...

(er, the -17 is outside. In Finland we do live in houses, throwing the occasional polar bear on the fire to kep warm :D )

Do you happen to know what module/driver the Nokia uses and if SuSE includes support for the C110?

It uses two progs. (can be got from the Nokia Website at http://www.nokia.com/nokia/0,8764,2701,00.html, altho' registration is required (free))
One driver is a binary proprietary jobbie, and the other is a 'wrapper', I guess to hook the particular disti/kernel in. Plus, a couple of config files (country, etc).

Thing is, maybe I've gone through the motions correctly, but I can't find a particular guide to tell me how, in the presence of a net, what I should be loking for.
This is one place Windows scores bigtime, it just lights up an icon on the status bar.
