Until now, I have been using my notebook machine with a wired connection to a router. Today I tried to use its wireless controller (Intel 5300), but failed.
The controller is recognized by openSuSE, and I was able to configure it (I don't swear that I configured it correctly). Since it was seen without any action from me, apparently its driver is also in the kernel. But I was surprised that I didn't have to apply the firmware to it; I don't see how YaST could have managed that; perhaps that's why I have not been able to reach the network through this interface.
The configuration screen contained many more options than what I see in the Network Services screens, and I don't know how to find those configuration screens so I could post here what I did at that stage, the details of which I do not remember entirely.
Help?
Let's cover some of the obvious.
Correct SSID set Correct auth type set and passwd.
Unless these are set correct it won't work period.
Of course, if possible, it may be a good idea to run the WiFi router or access point without any encryption to make sure you can get a WiFi connection. Once that's done, you can apply encryption, preferably WPA2. Do you even see any WiFi in KNetworkManager? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
