The Management of the Network clearly has not ever been tested by either the application Programer nor picked up in BETA. Quite a bold claim... openSUSE developers live by "eat your own dogfood", and they do require network as well, if it wouldn't work at all they sure would have noticed....

Its bad enough to have 4 different applications to manage the network connection and even worse that none of them function correctly for 11.1 you are supposed to use networkmanager-kde on kde4, as networkmanager-kde4 wasn't ready yet. It is the default in the kde4 pattern, the networkmanager-kde4 released with 11.1 can be considered a preview, it is up to this day still work in progress (but working pretty good)

So please try again with networkmanager-kde to discover WLANs and set a static IP, it works fine for me, also remove networkmanager-kde4 -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

I should have been my normal professional demeanour but the frustration over this huge issue boiled over. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

IFUP has outstanding bug reports on not being able to assign a static IP with it. The only way to assign a static IP is to install the KDE3 Network Manager Module which also has huge outstanding bug issues - but it can be done, but its horribly poor. The KDE4 Network Manager just does not work! So we install KDE4.n desktop and use KDE3 tools to support it - YaY Team!. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
