I have installed with Yast the rfkill utility, but if I try to run as root the 'rfkill list all' command I get the following message: Can't open RFKILL control device: No such file or directory

It's Ralink, which works fine with the driver from [3]. This means the rfkill interface has not been created. This also explains why NetworkManager (NM) is not notified about the wlan adapter being switched off. Could you try and install the devel_kernel pattern [2], download the tarball [4] from [3] and try to build and install the driver. The source is GPL, but not compatible with the kernel.org, therefor it's not included in the kernel. Don't hesitate to ask if some info is missing, or you have problems to build the driver.

I am also afraid that I end up with a non standard openSUSE system, while the system is working correctly for me, since I work allways with the power cord plugged in.

Don't worry, this is standard procedure. Ralink provides the source code in a professional way. "not compatible" means, the driver doesn't cooperate with other wifi subsystems in the kernel.org and work as an standalone monolithic driver.

After waking up, the still unplugged netbook, wake up correctly, except the wireless network starts asking for the security password. It shows the correct password in the pop-up window but pressing enter does not result in a working wireless network. Also not after repeatedly confirming the security password in the pop-up window. If I now plug in the power cord the wireless network starts working again.

This is caused by the lack of the rfkill interface in the driver included in the kernel. This shall be fixed in the driver from Ralink. I suggest, you try to build it. It's really straightforward. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
