I havn't seen that post, but I've read similar ones. Unless everytime after that it would always use the copied resolv.conf information whenever I connect to wireless, this really isn't that useful. What's the point of having a wireless network if the only way you can make it work is to connect to ethernet before enabling your wireless card. The point is, it worked in 8.2, it doesn't work in 9. So it must be a change somewhere. I'll have to check into the susefirewall posting. I didn't notice if it got installed or if it was even enabled. I'm thinking it's not, but worth looking into.

Gentlemen,
Check a bit farther down the list archives -- within the last day or so. I recall that someone had worked around the problem by connecting
to his network first by cable, then somehow copying the information from that version of resolv.conf to the version his wireless card looks at. I haven't tried it yet (still on the time clock) but it looks like an interesting approach. I'm a recent immigrant from RH, and I too had relatively painless wifi support there, only to have it crash and burn here...oh well...

Pete - I did see that posted yesterday I believe, and I tried it last night to no avail. In theory that work-around should work, but it didn't for me. Also in theory hard coding my resolv.conf should work as well and it didn't. I can go on without wifi for a bit while I assume this issue is being addressed, but in the long term if it is not solved it would force me to give Fedora a bit more of a look. I like what I see from Suse thus far and I am a bit surprised that wifi seems to be an issue when it is my understanding that it worked in past versions (I have Suse9). -- ______ Vince Scimeca - Senior Technology Manager Jupitermedia Corp. vscimeca@jupitermedia.com ______ -- Check the headers for your unsubscription address For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the archives at http://lists.suse.com Please read the FAQs: suse-linux-e-faq@suse.com
