I have a BCM4306 wireless chip. The OS was installed as OS 11.2 milestone 6 (or 7) and zypper dupped to GM. (I had not tried wireless prior to RC1).

Could you attach output of hwinfo and dmesg after you try to connect?

I have just tried connecting to a open network via knetworkmanager and an IP does get acquired. (Good news). But I still am unable to actually send tcp traffic over the connection. (Again it works from XP).

Does e.g. ICMP work? -- 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.

I don't know if a IP should be in the above or not, but clearly it is not

No, it should not. Look at `ip addr' output if you want to see IPs.

Attempts to ping both 10.0.0.1 and 192.168.0.1 result in. "Network is unavailable".

If you didn't get an address from those ranges, that's reasonable answer.

I know a lot of laptops have those. This one does not to the best of my knowledge. (Toshiba Satellite a few years old) The transition from state 1 to state 2 was caused just by rcnetwork down and killall -9 wpa_supplicant But I ran rcnetwork start several hours ago and the state is still 2. Poking around in knetworkmanager is not changing it. Maybe rfkill state management is flaky in the absense of a physical switch?

Yes.

I know a lot of laptops have those. This one does not to the best of my knowledge.

It may be just fn+antenna key, but AFAICT there has to be one.

I've tried a couple times over the weekend with no luck. Also, I happened to upgrade this laptop to the just released kde 4.4 this morning. Since then I've been able to connect to 2 different secure wireless networks via knetworkmanager. Both immediately after a reboot so the rfkill switch was set to 1 (I assume that the reason). My guess right now is had two bugs, one related to rfkill in the kernel and one related to kde as in the 11.2 release. Looks like one of those is fixed at least. fyi:
