[opensuse] Problem adding Wireless after install
On laptops and desktops this works aucomagically when the wireless is connected at install time. However if you forgot it or went old school and later decide to add wireless your in problems. Currently I have an older system with 11.4 on it and I am trying to add wireless after the fact with Yast. I have installed iw and smpppd and gone into Yast to setup the Engenious 9603H which works fine on the laptops. I have tried setup in Yast with manual trigger ifup ifdown and no go. What is the best way to overcome this short of reinstall. And before you ask most of my stuff is to old for 13.x even my best systems choke on Gnome 3. so upgrading to a hung system is not in the works.

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA256 Hello, Please explain where exactly is the problem. The device cannot be recognized at all? The device cannot connect to a wireless network ? The device cannot be configured through Yast ? Something else ? Thank you in advance. Best regards, I. Petrov On 04/10/2015 10:11 PM, Carl Spitzer wrote:
