Strange indeed. I really don't know much about it, but the HWD_* parameters are somehow built and returned by the "getcfg" utility which "ifup" uses. I'm gussing getcfg does not (by reasons unknown) understand that your card is wireless. It should also do this if you set WIRELESS=yes in your ifcfg-file. But I'm just guessing. Good that you've found a way around the problem, anyway. /Lennart tisdagen den 18 oktober 2005 14.14 skrev Joe Georger:
Strange. The output of iwconfig showed no ssid, open authentication, and no key. If I set them manually the wireless would work. However upon reboot it was back to not working. Now this is with those same parameters set in the ifcfg file....
I spent about an hour searching the SLE archives and came up with one message saying to add this to my ifcfg file:
HWD_INTERFACETYPE_0=wlan
I did that and it worked! But what the hell?

Do a
iwconfig wlan0
as root and check the output. You should see your ESSID, the address of your AP etc. The Security mode should be "restricted". Your key should be there, etc etc. You should also be able to try out different settings from the command line; sometimes faster to do it that way and then finalise everything in yast.
