Just installed 11 on my IBM TP. Great! I'll be a major SuSE distro.
It'll be a major Linux distro...
The system identifies (correctly) the PRO/Wireless LAN 2100 3B Mini PCI Adaptor (built in) as eth1.
I can configure it using the grey circular ikon in my taskbar (is that Knetworkmanager?), I can configure it using YaST if I so desire. I configure it using ordinary WEP encryption, not very safe but fine for starters.
No connect. Never. Ever.
The little wheel turns around - and then gives up.
I then searched YaST for "networkmanager" and re-installed networkmanager and Knetworkmanager. Same thing, no luck.
It bothers and puzzles me that if I swap in Ubuntu 7/8 (have disks with both), the wireless works right away...
I don't want to run Ubuntu, I'm a SuSE man....but still. When 10.2 and 10.3 was on the machine, they worked out of the box too. What happened?
I've attached (if one can do so, otherwise I'll re-post with more text...) some info from the Networkmanager log. I hope this info is helpfull.
As always...thanks a million!
