I have been struggling to configure my Wifi connection. I understood from previous threads that I have to remove NetworkManager.state and to do rcnetwork restart to be able to configure the Wifi connection with NetworkManager. This did not lead to success.
So now I intend to make a fresh 11.3 installation, remove NetworkManager.state and do rcnetwork restart. Then I'll do a NetworkManager guided install.
Can anybody tell me what's wrong in this approach?
Just curious, where did you read you need to remove NetworkManager.state? And.. are you using Gnome or KDE?
Generally speaking - set up your network card to use NetworkManager if it isn't already like that... and use the NetworkManager icon to connect... this is of course assuming you've got a recognized WiFi card.
On my netbook using an Atheros card, I don't do anything special at all... click the Network Manager icon, and follow it through to add a WiFi access point.

I learned it from earlier threads. I use KDE. I do not understand why I don't get a NetworkManager icon at all. May be that the trick? André
Hi, check to see if you have Networkmanager installed. I think that if it is installed, the program should be identified with its icon in the start menu (Kmenu).
It is installed, but no icon
The next thing to check is to look in Yast under NetworkDevices>network settings>global options tab to see if your networking is configured to use ifup, or network manager. User controlled with NetworkManager
Next you need to go back to the overview tab and see if your wlan appears in the list of devices. If it does, you need to edit it so that the correct module is used to run the wlan.
In the overview tab appears; devicename wlan0
You should post to the list which wlan card you have. I have a realtek rtl8192se wireless card in my laptop. I am able to install the driver for it to get the wlan working in opensuse 11.1, but the same driver won't work in 11.3 for some reason. I had to reinstall 11.1 after installing 11.3 to get the wireless to work.
The card is AR5BXB63 802.11bg NIC
