I am using openSuSE 10.2 since it came from a magazine I purchased recently. I am using an Acer TravelMate 4060, dual boot (Win XP Pro). According to XP Device Manager my internal wireless card is reported as an Intel PRO/Wireless 2200BG Network Connection. So I am trying to connect via that to a SMC Barricade g Wireless Router (SMC WBR14-G2) that is connected to my ISP supplied DSL-300G ADSL DLink Modem. The Linux Network Manager is seeing the wireless adapter but I cannot connect to the outside world. What is complicating this is that recently I had used the Live CD version of Knoppix and it recognized and used my wireless internet connection. But with openSuSE, I cannot get it to recognize the connection.
Did you install the ipw firmware package? Do you have security settings on the wireless router? wpa? Passphrases? -- _____________________________________ John Andersen
