**Warning: I am I complete and utter noob when it comes to Linux**

I have SuSE 8 Home Edition, I have it on a dual boot with XP. Everything loads fine except a drivers.

First, I can't seem to get my mouse to work. It is a Kensington Optical PocketMouse, connects through USB. When I go into Administration to change the mouse model I choose the Intellimouse/USB option. I press accept, mouse doesn't work. I do it again and choose the just plain USB Mouse option. Still doesn't work. Am I doing something wrong?

Second, I have a wireless network. I have a Microsoft Wireless USB Adapter MN-510 to get to it. When I go to configure it it doesn't seem to work. When I edit stuff, SuSE goes through and sets everything up, or so its says. Internet doesn't work. I know its the adapter because I can get to the internet if I hardline the laptop to the base station.

Am I doing something wrong or does SuSE just have problems with USB?

Thanks.
