Are you using KDE or Gnome? On KDE I use the KNetworkManager, the globe icon, right button -> new connection -> wlan0(example) and after will appear the wireless networks avaliable.

Cheers.

In OpenSUSE 10.3, I could scan for available WiFi networks and then select one to connect to. This function appears to be missing (broken?) in 11.0. How do I scan for networks in OpenSUSE 11.0?

Sorry, I'm using KDE.and it connected fine to my own network. However, I rebooted the computer and now the other networks around here are showing. Weird.

What are you running for a wireless NIC?

It's an Intel PRO/Wireless 2200 BG NIC. I had to go into the NIC configuration and specify No Encryption for Authentication mode. After I set that, scanning worked. But then it somehow got changed back to WEP - Open and again stopped showing the other networks. Hopefully it will stay set this time. -- Use OpenOffice.org http://www.openoffice.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Even more weird, sometimes it shows the bars showing the signal strength display, sometimes after connect it just shows the "green globe". Everything is working, you just get the green globe.

It makes one wonder if it's ready for "Prime Time". It would be nice to get the VPN config working. -- Use OpenOffice.org http://www.openoffice.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
