Hi David, Am Sonntag 16 November 2008 schrieb David C. Rankin:
That is really strange. Is your wireless card an Atheros? You should be able to use knetwork manager. I presume you have the madwifi driver installed? This is my biggest concern with 11.1 and the laptops and Atheros chipsets. openSuSE 11.0 totally ignored the people running the newer Atheros cards and to date there is no working madwifi for the AR242x 802.11abg from Novell. Thankfully, in build service under both /home/schmole and /home/appleonkel there is an updated version of the driver that works.
No, its a Centrino-Notebook, therefore it has an intel-3945-ABG wlan- card. This is nearly a standard today and 11.1B5 does recognize it correctly. The Networkmanager seems to recognize it too, because i get these little popups, where networkmanager tells that it has found my access-point. But i cannot configure any security-feature like WPA, because the window for kde-networksettings shows absolutely nothing and doesnt save all manually added settings. And the corresponding applet in the taskbar brings plasma down in 9 of 10 times.
Have you tried configuring the knetwork manager app in kde4? Sometimes you really have to look hard at all the different config tabs and settings, but at least in 11.0 I could set wpa, etc. without any problems. I have a link on my site that I use to troubleshoot wireless. your welcome to it.
Thanks, i did found it, but it doesnt work. regards, Jens -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
