on a very desperate attempt you could try this:
iwconfig wlan0 essid <your essid> iwconfig wlan0 ap <mac address for your ap> iwconfig wlan0 key <your network key>
and finally
dhclient wlan0
if i understood correctly you are unable to check "use networkmanager" option, is it?
I can check either "use networkmanager" ir ifup in YaST, and there is no complaint from YaST. But there is no connection either way. I cannot understand how the act of turning off a wireless connection can produce this condition, so I begin to think there is a hardware problem, maybe an intermittent connection of the WiFi card that happened to turn off at a critical moment.

I was using the machine, connected wireless. I wanted to make sure that kmail wouild be isolated temporarily from the network, so I opened the networkmanager icon and unchecked wireless.
Now I want to restore the network to normal operation. I cannot cause the networkmanager icon to reappear. Clicking on the "Show hidden icons" lists "Network Management"; clicking on that shows:
Network management disabled <-- greyed out Enable networking <-- checked Enable wireless. <-- checked
In switching from ifup control to networkmanager control, a dialog box appears informing me that "Applet needed", and informing me that if it is installed, I should start it manually; but running knetworkmanager in konsole does nothing except return to the prompt.
The system's response to any attempt to reach out to the world is "No network running".
A search reports lots of reported problems about networkmanager, but I haven't found this one yet.
How can I
Hi Stan, try this:
Gecko--> Applications Tab --> System --> Desktop Applet --> NetworkManager
that should get it running. Click on the applet in the taskbar, and enable wireless.
Hi, I think that I misread your question in the last post, I thought that you had reenabled connect with networkmanager in yast global settings. If you are still using ifup and can't connect, go back to networkmanager in yast. Sometimes ifup doesn't work in 11.3 and 11.4 for no apparent reason.
I have tried connecting with both ifup and the networkmanager, with equal !results.
