Msi Ms-3871 Driver
I installed openSuse 11.2 for my desktop that I recently built. I have Intel DX79SI motherboard which came with the wireless/bluetooth combo device 'The module is an MSI MS-3871 WLAN 802.11b/g/n 1T1R+BT2.1 EDR Combo Slim Module'.
It looks like driver is not automatically installed. I took the compat-wireless driver and tried to install and surprised to find that I need to set some differnet configuration and recompile the kernel to install a wireless driver.
Two things..
1) I need some help on what to do to install the driver. Clearly 'Enable CONFIG_WIRELESS_EXT and recompile linux kernel' is not the level of instruction that will help me. Is there more detailed steps that I can follow?
2) Not to offend anyone but just trying to understand the intent. In the world of Apple & google which is trying to make it easy for people to use things, why such a complexity in trying to have a basic wireless device enabled? Is the intent to drive people away from using linux?
Here is the message that I got when I tried to make compat driver.
