Hello What is the output of the iwconfig and ifconfig command? Do you see your wifi card? You should see a line simular to the text bellow: ....... eth0 IEEE 802.11-DS ESSID:"linksys" Nickname:"thinker" Mode:Managed Frequency:2.417 GHz Access Point: 00:13:10:F2:C3:6B Bit Rate:11 Mb/s Tx-Power=20 dBm Sensitivity=0/65535 Retry limit:16 RTS thr:off Fragment thr:off Encryption key:****-****-****-****-****-****-** Security mode:open Power Management:off Link Quality=37/100 Signal level=-77 dBm Noise level=-88 dBm Rx invalid nwid:2 Rx invalid crypt:0 Rx invalid frag:0 Tx excessive retries:0 Invalid misc:877 Missed beacon:0 wifi0 IEEE 802.11-DS ESSID:"linksys" Nickname:"thinker" Mode:Managed Frequency:2.417 GHz Access Point: 00:13:10:F2:C3:6B Bit Rate:11 Mb/s Tx-Power=20 dBm Sensitivity=0/65535 Retry limit:16 RTS thr:off Fragment thr:off Encryption key:****-****-****-****-****-****-** Security mode:open Power Management:off Link Quality=37/100 Signal level=-77 dBm Noise level=-88 dBm Rx invalid nwid:2 Rx invalid crypt:0 Rx invalid frag:0 Tx excessive retries:0 Invalid misc:877 Missed beacon:0 eth1 no wireless extensions. ....................

I have an Acer TravelMate 4010 running OpenSUSE 10 that as with most laptops has a button to turn wireless on and off. I have all my settings in YAST correct including encryption. However, I cannot get the button to turn on. I cannot find anything on the ACER webpage or anywhere else concerning this.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Aaron
