[opensuse] 11.4, eeepc, wifi, wpa2 tkip,connects, but no access to netwerk.
Hi, I use ifup with qinternet, but networkmanager does not get access also. It has been like this from the start. I downloaded 11.4 from 11.3, wireless, after installation wifi did not work anymore. During the network install it worked, after restarting, it did not. On the 'rope'it does work. According to qinternet it finds the gateway, shows the correct ip-address, shows even its own ip address, but there is no log, and it is not possible to access the internet. Does anybody have a clue as how to solve this? thnx.. M9. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

qinternet? So, you are trying to establish a PPPoE dial-up connection via WLAN? This should work if your WLAN router supports this, but it sounds somewhat strange.
but networkmanager does not get access also.
Which networkmanager frontend exactly? If you use KDE, please read this--- however, I just hope it is still relevant since I do not use 11.4 anymore: http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-kde/2011-05/msg00035.html

Check the WiFi connection itself via "iwconfig" Check the IP address via "ip a" Check the default route via "ip route" Try to disable the SuSEfirewall temporarily via YaST
but there is no log, and it is not possible to access the internet.
/var/log/messages, "dmesg", and /var/log/wpa_supplicant.log should tell you whether your WiFi adapter associates with your base station. IIRC, qinternet is a frontend for smpppd, thus, /var/log/smpppd/*.log should give you some information about the dialup connection. BTW, "cinternet" has many options to display logs and more detailed information including verbose and debug output. If you are using NetworkManager, there is /var/log/NetworkManager.
Does anybody have a clue as how to solve this?
Which WiFi adapter do you use? "hwinfo --wlan" Are you really using PPPoE? "hwinfo --pppoe" Gruß Jan -- You cannot strengthen the weak by weakening the strong. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

What you suggest here is to update? Do you mean the version you use does connect wifi 'out of the box'? If this is the fact: Which version do you use? Thnx 4 replying, (if newer version works ok, I'll update, instead waste much time with unnecessary fuss..)

Only plasmoid-networkmanagement and NetworkManager-kde4-libs. And to remove NetworkManager-kde4. The latter is "deprecated" and newer versions of openSUSE use plasmoid-networkmanagement as default.

I do not remember and I do not have access to my EeePC at the moment. But I do remember that I had problems connecting to my WPA2 WLAN. Finally it worked, but I do not know exactly why. However, my router does the dial in using PPPoE itself. Thus, qinternet and smpppd are not installed.

If you want to use the KDE4 and Networkmanager you should update. But: Since you cannot even connect using ifup, there might be another problem. Thus, please try to check the output of the commands and the log files I mentioned in my previous article.
