I want to read the documentation but can't find anything about Networkmanager in the KDE documentation. Can anybody tell me where to look? Thanks, André
Unfortunately I haven't written any yet: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=245357
Jonathan R from open-slx is starting to write some upstream docu though.
The openSUSE Docu team has written a section about it in the 11.3 manual.
There is also http://userbase.kde.org/NetworkManagement.
BTW the BSSID field should be unnecessary.

I did a fresh install of 11.3
Clicked on connection icon
In popup screen Wireless 802.11b/g invited me to configure a connection
Clicking on that produced a list of Wifi signals with strenght
My router chosen
Authentication method WPA/WPA2-Personal
Entered Key ….......
To my great satisfaction, connection!!
After restarted the machine it still worked.
Next day after starting; no connection
Editing in NM had no effect, I could not choose 802.11b/g and scanning gave nothing
After restarting the machine it was possible to scan and choose my router, but realising a connection was not possible; only trying to make one.
How can I realise a connection that stays?
Is it only once possible to realise a connection with NetworkManager?
After 6 weeks of struggling the last (I hope) hint is more than welcome

Are you powering down over nite, or merely letting it sleep/hibernate?
No, I really shut off the machine André
Your problem may have to do with the fact that your machine goes to sleep mode and does not reliably re-awake your wifi card. In past versions NetworkManager had a problem with this and warned of such in yast at installation time.
In reality it seems more like a power management problem than a networkmanager problem.
There are some settings in yast /etc/sysconfig that you might research. One is hardware/network/wlan0/wireless_power Another is Network/General/Global_post_UP_Exec where you can create a script to be run. If you can configure some command line scrip that does what it takes to get the card back on line properly (rather than using any GUI tools).
I'm not sure what to tell you other the above.
