I use desktop computers at work so I know they work on a network. The three laptops I tried: eeeps, acer one and hp pavillion would not connect to Internet with opensuse even after several hours downloading with a wired connection and booting from the 11.2 kde live usb memory stick. Pull the wire and the wireless is useless unless you have several more hours to search how to do it. I can get a wired connection to a Desktop computer on the network in a few minutes by setting the squid port on the client using Yast. I suppose that's what prevents many from using it at home. But I've not given up yet.
first know your network card model and chipset if you can. sometimes you must use ndswrapper as I had to do with a B/G card. It could be as simple as b/g conflict you system was either B or G and work had the other. -- _______ _______ _______ __ / ____\ \ / / ____|_ _\ \ / / | | \ \ /\ / / (___ | | \ \ / / | | \ \/ \/ / \___ \ | | \ \/ / | |____ \ /\ / ____) |_| |_ \ / \_____| \/ \/ |_____/|_____| \/ | \ /|\ || |\ / |~~\ /~~\ /~~| //~~\ | \ / | \ || | X |__/| || |( `--. |__ | | \| \_/ / \ | \ \__/ \__| \\__/ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
