The good news is that in the right circumstances, and for the first time, it's all rather painless, however... With ESSID not broadcast, network manager isn't interested, outputs below iwconfig lo no wireless extensions. eth0 no wireless extensions. wlan0 IEEE 802.11bg ESSID:off/any Mode:Managed Access Point: Not-Associated Tx-Power=off Retry long limit:7 RTS thr:off Fragment thr:off Encryption key:off Power Management:off hwinfo --wlan 23: PCI 509.0: 0282 WLAN controller [Created at pci.318] Unique ID: y9sn.ITsT_qdmiR1 Parent ID: qscc.hV5J61pTkh5 SysFS ID: /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:14.4/0000:05:09.0 SysFS BusID: 0000:05:09.0 Hardware Class: network Model: "RaLink RT2561/RT61 rev B 802.11g" Vendor: pci 0x1814 "RaLink" Device: pci 0x0302 "RT2561/RT61 rev B 802.11g" SubVendor: pci 0x1462 "Micro-Star International Co., Ltd."

I would like to add that on 11.3 the MSI Wind is working as it should for the first time (graphics with compositing on, wifi, haven't checked dual monitor) -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
