Hi all
I'm trying to switch from Ubuntu to openSUSE 11.2 and really like the feeling of the system and setup.
My biggest problem is with my wireless network. It doesn't connect to my wireless router using WPA-PSK security. There isn't shown any errors to me on the desktop.
The netcard is: # WLan: Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 4965 AGN # Lan: Realtek RTL8111/8168 Gigabit Ethernet
lspci shows: 06:00.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 4965 AG or AGN [Kedron] Network Connection (rev 61) 07:00.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8111/8168B PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet controller (rev 01)
There isn't any problem to use regular ethernet or none encrypted wireless network. Do I need to activate support for WPA-PSK in a special way? On Ubunutu I used GNOME so I'm not so familar with KDE yet.
Thanks a lot in advance.
I've found a similar problem with Wireless connection. It does not assign an IP address to "wlan0" although KNetworkManager shows connection to the router. If i connect with cable then "eth0" gets an IP address fine.
It's this bug: http://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=553908
Fix available as described at : http://www.kdedevelopers.org/node/4112 and will soon be available as an online update.
If you don't want to test the update out, the workaround is to edit your wireless connection, go to IP settings, change the view to Routing, clear both checkboxes, and log out and back in again.
Let me know how you get on.
Thanks, Will!! The work around did the trick! Now, I'll see how long I can stay connected. One of the problems we've had in the past in KNetworkmanager hasn't wanted to stay connected.
As a follow up, KNetworkmanager seems to be behaving much better than in the past, in that it DOES stay connected. The only thing I've noticed, is that it DOESN'T stay on the bar, so once you shutdown or reboot, it's gone and has to be restarted. Korganizer won't stay on the bar at all...once closed, it's gone, even though it's configured for the reminder to be on the bar.
