That's a feature and it's required for some user space programs to work properly (e.g. dhcp client) and to allow bridging with Ethernet. As I already said several times, the correct way to recognize whether the given device is a wireless one is to check for Wireless Extensions support. -- 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, or are watching someone who is.

Open new console and type "hwinfo --wlan". Can you see something? Also type "hwinfo --netcard" and save it (maybe we will need that output later) - now back to yast. When your unconfigured card is selected, click edit and write me here how was recognized (eth/wlan) and whether wlan dialogs was available -- 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, or are watching someone who is.
