It has no cable connection to the internet, but only access via WiFi.
My _personal_ choice, is never buy a laptop without Ethernet connector.
I did not check it when I bought the laptop because I could not imagine that such a basic thing was lacking. It's like buying an automobile and noticing only at home that it has no engine. If had seen it before, I would have chosen another model. But when, even with your help, I don't succeed to connect it to the internet, I will bring it back to the store on Monday.
I was nearly bitten by that problem, no Ethernet, but I realized before committing the purchase. I have seen, in this list or other places, people having a laptop with no Ethernet, no wifi for some reason (no support, or support broken two year later), so I made the mental note to never buy a laptop with no Ethernet, even if it is not for me.
Starting automatically on cable connection ...
My interpretation: some laptops have a button to enable/disable the wifi. When you enable it would be considered "cable connect".
My laptop does not have such a button.
But the software doesn't know :-D
Although with WiFi I would prefer Network Manager: it is far easier if you ever move your laptop.
But I don't know how to work with it because it grants me no possibility to specify anything, like computer name, IP address, domain etc.
Yes, it does. The computer name you set up in YaST, anyway. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from oS Leap 15.1 x86_64 (Minas Tirith))
