This laptop has an Intel on-chip (i5) wireless, and I've never succeeded in getting that to work. In desperation I disabled networkManager and tried manual setting of the network. It still didn't work. I then tried a USB dongle - and that worked immediately. At that point I decided that I should try networkManager again - but I can't remember how/where I disabled it. I changed the /etc/sysconfig/network/config line to enable networkManager, but it isn't picking up the dongle, so I assume that more is needed.
I know that to some extent this is self-inflicted, but I'd welcome help to get the dongle (wlan1) working with networkManager.

To add what alin said, it should be a drivers trouble. You didn't precise which intel chipset it is ( lspci can give information about it ) you can check in yast2 sw_single and search for firmware to be sure you have them installed corresponding to your card. iwl6000-ucode - Intel 6000 Series Wi-Fi Adapters firmware iwl6050-ucode - Intel 6050 Series Wi-Fi Adapters firmware ipw-firmware - Firmware for Intel PRO/Wireless WLAN Cards -- Bruno Friedmann bruno@ioda-net.ch Ioda-Net Sàrl www.ioda-net.ch openSUSE Member User www.ioda.net/r/osu Blog www.ioda.net/r/blog fsfe fellowship www.fsfe.org (bruno.friedmann (at) fsfe.org ) tigerfoot on irc GPG KEY : D5C9B751C4653227 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kde+help@opensuse.org
