[Xastir] Still struggling with connection to interent on a laptop

[Jim Tolbert]

I know this is off topic, but I am trying to get to Xastir!! 

I have a laptop that I have converting to Linux primarily to run Xastir 
for tracking GPS units for SAR.  I seem to have open SUSE running, but 
have been unable to get either the wireless card or the modem responding 
to download Xastir.

I have been posting on openSUSE forum and have had some success -- 
driver now compiled and installed ( I think) without errors, but still 
no link.

Can anyone direct me to another site (Yes, you can tell me where to go!) 
that may help me get Xastir up and running?   Since Windows is 
apparently still on this machine, can I connect /download through the 
windows side and somehow get what Linux wants?

Sorry for the off topic questions............... jt
