With 11.2, I could not activate wlan on my laptop. After lots of googling, I found that following commands do the trick:

BTW: that's a typo. This should be spelled "nm-applet"
Now the problem is that there seem to be no way to put nm-applet into the panel so that it starts automatically.
Any hints how to start nm-applet automatically? There is an option under the KDE system settings > Advanced for Autostart. You can add any application to the list to start automatically.
Thanks Nkoli, I'll try that.
Though I am sure the NetworkManager-kde4 author (who is on this list) would like to hear more about your problem before you give up on his program ... could you give some more information about what went wrong?
Since I found the above commands within a couple of minutes via google, I assumed the problem is well known. The symptom was that NM detects and shows me the visible networks, but when I click on one of them, nothing happens at all. No reaction and no error message shows up, although everything is configured properly. The above commands (basically remove NM-kde4 and use NM-gnome instead of it) solved the problem without any further fuss... I found the above recommendation (to install NM-gnome instead of NM-kde4) in some blog with detailed descriptions what was going wrong on DBUS. This blog dated back to... umm... October... I think. So I assumed it is a known problem. I can't remember the details, just extracted the above commands, and added the invocation of gtk-update-icon-cache to keep nm-applet from crashing when it can't find some icons. Strange enough, I can't find this blog again right now. I'll check the browser cache on my other computers later. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
