Hi,
I decided to upgrade from Opensuse 11.1 to 11.3 on my Toshiba U505-S2950
laptop.  I have completed the installation with kde 4 but can't get my
wireless to work.

I installed the Realtek linux wireless driver for the Realtek rtl8192se
as I did in OS-11.1, but the wireless won't work.  I checked that the
kernel module is loaded using 

~lsmod | grep r8192

and get the result 

r8192se_pci       538978 0

I then did 

#modprobe r9192se_pci

I configured the wlan in Yast>Network Settings>Wlan0 and am using the
Traditional method with ifup.

I am able to scan for networks in yast, and selected my network and
typed in the security code.  But it doesn't bring up the internet after
the yast module closes.

I tried then to use the User controlled with NetworkManager option.  I
can start knetworkmanager before I switch to "User Controlled with
Network Manager," and I see the knetworkmanager icon in the kicker
panel.  After I switch to "User...Network Manager" from
"Traditional...ifup" everything on the yast network settings panel
grays-out, and the kicker panel taskbar Network Manager icon goes away
and is not visible anymore.

I also installed NetworkManager-gnome, but can't figure out how to start
it.  So I can't tell if it would make any difference.

I hope this is enough information to get some help on how to get this
working.

Thanks
