Also experienced Problems with "Skip Internet Test" during Installation.
(I have no LAN-Cable attached.)
1st Try: During Installation i changed Network Settings for WLAN
(SSID+WPA-Pass)
Result: Installation-Routine "Test Internet" => "No Network available"
Then, as User, KNetworkManager failed to get a wireless Connection. Futile
Attempts to fix it via ifconfig or YAST: .. not possible .. use KNetworkManager
. .. :-(
=> New Installation
2nd Try: Disabled WLAN-Adapter at Boot before Installation. "Skip Internet
Test"
=> Filled up with Errors: .. No Internet .. failed .. Repository ..
=> Cold Shutdown, MBR erased, new Installation.
3rd Try: Enabled WLAN-Adapter at Boot, No LAN-Cable before Installation.
During Installation nothing changed at "Network".
=> Error: Yast2: No Network active
Even that i knew, i had no Internet, i chose: Test Internet via LAN.
=> only one scaring Error: FAILED
Nevertheless i pressed the "continue"-Button and:
=> NO more Errors!
Finally everything went fine with > User > KNetworkmanager > WLAN > YOU ..
Conclusion: This is totally confusing to any unexperienced User. If i know, i
don't have Internet during Installation, it's normal to "Skip Internet Test".
Otherwise you have to implement a *big* Warning: "If you don't have Internet,
don't choose "Skip Internet Test" but "Test Internet" and prepare for a
"FAILED"".
