Hello listmates, Replying to oneself is usually not a good sign, but I wanted to bring you all up to speed. On Thursday 21 August 2008 04:43:30 pm Joop Beris wrote:
After this, I have decided to give up and go back to openSUSE 10.3, which has worked relatively flawlessly for me. It just seems to me that the openSUSE 11.0/KDE 4.1 combination is not mature enough yet to be unleashed on the general public.
I have done a fresh install openSUSE 11 on my laptop again. Wiped the root partition and installed openSUSE 11 and KDE 3.5 as graphical desktop. Things worked great for a while...but not anymore. I can now safely say that the problem with KNetworkmanager I am having, is NOT related to KDE 4. KNetworkmanager also does not work at all with openSUSE 11 and KD 3.5. In /var/log/Knetworkmanager, the following line is logged over and over again: Aug 25 09:27:23 deepthought NetworkManager: <info> Trying to start the supplicant... Aug 25 09:27:23 deepthought NetworkManager: <info> Trying to start the system settings daemon... Aug 25 09:29:23 deepthought NetworkManager: <info> Trying to start the supplicant...

Aug 25 09:39:23 deepthought NetworkManager: <info> Trying to start the system settings daemon... KNetworkmanager is dumb and stays dumb, no matter if I plug in a cable or not. Wireless networks are not found, but iwlist wlan0 scan does show networks, so I know the wireless card is working. The only way I can get on any network is through manual configuration. The odd thing is, everything did work before the previous kernel update. Also the kernel itself doesn't matter. I tried with both the default and the pae kernel. So it seems openSUSE 11 and this laptop (HP nc6320) just are not on friendly terms with eachother, which is weird, since it ran fine for about a year on openSUSE 10.3. Does anyone have any suggestions on how I can get my automatic network configuration back?
