Any suggestions? How do I kick this back to life?
Hi Simon, Have you tried YaST - Network Devices - Network Card to setup your network adapter again? --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Well, that's part of the problem. It has disappeared from there too. When I first installed this, my wireless device was "just there" in Yast, and all I had to do to get it to run was to give it my network key in the network manager applet. Now, the network applet doesn't show wireless as an option at all, ifconfig -a doesn't show the device, and Yast doesn't offer the device either. The only way I know I even have a wireless card any more is because it shows up in hwinfo. Thoughts?

OK. I skipped that in your first email. First guess is that wireless driver doesn't load. Try in console as root: lsmod to see what driver is loaded (if any). It should be something like ipw3945 or iwl3945. BTW, what openSUSE version you use and did you have any updates before crash. -- Regards, Rajko http://en.opensuse.org/Portal needs helpful hands. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Yes......try the "ifup" method in Yast for the device.....NOT Knetworkmanager and set it for "bootup".
