Hi,
I've installed Opensuse 11.1 on a Dell Latitude E5400 Notebook. There are several problems:

Christoph, Before we can help we need you to provide a little more information -- like which wireless chipset you are dealing with. Obviously, the response will be a lot different depending on whether you have an Atheros, a Broadcomm, an Intel, etc.... You can either cut and paste the output into an email, or dump the output to a file and attach that. Not to worry, you can get that information very quickly. First, open a terminal like konsole or xterm. Then at the command prompt enter the following (as root, [note: type su and then the password to become root]): lspci If you want to dump the output to a file simply redirect the output into a file (same applies to all commands): lspci > lspci.out The remaining commands we need the output to are: dmidecode hwinfo --netcard hwinfo --network ifconfig If you want to do it all at once, just cut and paste the following into your terminal: for i in lspci dmidecode 'hwinfo --netcard' 'hwinfo --network' ifconfig; do \ $i > "$(echo $i | tr -d ' ').out" \ done The command line above will run each of the commands and save the output of each command in a file named 'command.out' with the spaces removed. Post or attach the output from each command above and then someone familiar with that chipset will be able to help. If it is an Atheros chipset I can help, if not, somebody else will most likely already have the answer;-) -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.
