After finding some version mismatches in my 10.3 installation, and not having heard any reasonable-sounding complaints against kde 4.1 recently, I upgraded to 11.1 with kde 4.1.3 a couple of weeks ago. I just ran a successful online update of all packages last night. Since upgrading, I've been unable to connect to any wifi using my primary (suse) desktop ...
So, I decided to try yet again. I did exactly the same thing I've done a dozen times before and since I wrote the above message on 7/11. This time it worked. I opened yast, selected network devices, selected network settings, selected Pro/Wireless 3945abg (or however it's labeled), set it to be managed by NetworkManager, and closed yast. Then I started knetworkmanager, and the gear immediately appeared and started turning. In a few seconds, I had the bars and am now doing this over my wireless. I imagine some of the many updates I've installed since I installed kde4.2.4 did this? If so, thanks to the devs, and to suse for this marvelous yast program. Just wish it had happened sooner. We've had some lovely weather, and I like to do my computing outside on the swing :-). Hopefully the cool, dry will hold, and our usual 90F (35C) with 75%-85% humidity won't come back for a while. jp -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
