Hi, I think that I misread your question in the last post, I thought that you had reenabled connect with networkmanager in yast global settings. If you are still using ifup and can't connect, go back to networkmanager in yast. Sometimes ifup doesn't work in 11.3 and 11.4 for no apparent reason. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

if i understood correctly you are unable to check "use networkmanager" option, is it?
I can check either "use networkmanager" ir ifup in YaST, and there is no complaint from YaST. But there is no connection either way. I cannot understand how the act of turning off a wireless connection can produce this condition, so I begin to think there is a hardware problem, maybe an intermittent connection of the WiFi card that happened to turn off at a critical moment.

-- Stan Goodman Qiryat Tiv'on Israel Hi, yes, so have I. In fact, ifup is working well on my laptop now in both 11.3 & 4. Sometimes however, it just won't work and persists in doing so. I don't know why.

I've seen this behavior... male sure your settings are where they should be - ie you've still got network manager enabled (but possibly not seeing the network) and then reboot. Reboot should hopefully work to wake things back up and get all working again - at least it has for me when I've been stuck in the same situation. For what it's worth, I've seen the same thing happen on non-Linux OSes. Flip the software switch to turn off the WiFi and that's it... it's off until the laptop is restarted, and no amount of fiddling in the software will get the WiFi to restart. Note this is not every time... just sometimes... on some hardware... Of course this is not optimal, and a bug report is probably in order if a simple reboot "fixes" things.
