I use Suse-10.1, KNetwork Manager is never able to initialize my Wireless Card properly, i always have to login as root, and do iwconfig manually etc.. KNetworkManager however beautifully manages my Ethernet Connection (ifplugd) etc..
I have Intel 2200 ProBG wireless card , i modprobed the module (ipw2200) after manually downloading the firmware into /lib/firmware , and set the IP address using iwconfig, and did a dhclient to get a working wireless LAN,
We provide the firmware in the non-OSS addon CD. Install ipw-firmware.rpm from the addon CD or internet installation source first.
KNetwork Manager gets stuck at 28% trying to run this command: /usr/sbin/wpa_supplicant -d -g /var/run/wpa_supplicant-global
/var/log/NetworkManager is the relevant log. After you have installed the correct firmware, please post a bug at bugzilla.novell.com with the relevant part of the log and details of your network authentication - like what kind of authentication and algorithms you are using. The kernel taint message is not related. Will
