So, the AP uses no encryption. Does the wireless connection succeed if you use the commandline method (see [1] for an explanation)?

Hmm, could you please try to create a new connection in KNetworkManager, start a connection attempt and if it fails attach /var/log/NetworkManager? Helmut -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Jide, I know that "something happened" on wifi connection on 11, it is not reliable as 10.3 did. It happens also here with my intel iwl3945. In my case the dirty workaround is i restarted the iwl3945 # modprobe -r iwl3945 # modprobe iwl3945 In my case, kismet also don't want to capture the traffic until i use the compat-wireless driver from http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Download. I don't know why, but for the time being seem to me that the address is broken. medwinz -- EB White - "Be obscure clearly." -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Never tried the BS version. I think your point is make sense. Problem is kernel version. I check it and the compat-wireless driver is for kernel 2.6.25.5-1.1, mine is 2.6.25.9-0.2. Anyway I think it is worth for Jide to try it. I read on the README that broadcom also supported by this driver. So Jide please go to webpin ( http://packages.opensuse-community.org/index.jsp?searchTerm=compat-wireless&distro=openSUSE_110 ) and do one click install. See what will happen.

Hi I downloaded the packages and installed them, but still have the same situation. I have resigned myself to using the command line which works well. At home is not a problem, knetworkmanager works well with my wireless router, but in my office i simply run /etc/init.d/network restart and I am running smoothly. Thanks everyone for your help, I do hope a fix will happen soon for knetworkmanager, wish i could write it myself too! :D Jide -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
